enjoying the present…

I am in Milan today – I flew in yesterday afternoon for a dinner last night, and then a meeting today.
After my meeting this morning, I spent the day walking around Milan, the weather was perfect.

I have been to Milan many times, but for some reason today was more enjoyable than most because I wasn’t thinking about what I was going to do tomorrow, or what I did yesterday … I just enjoyed the present and the simple pleasure of walking around the streets of Milan..

Too many people go through life living in the past.

Too many people go through life just “hope-ing” for a better future… without putting in consistent effort to make their future happen.

Too many people focus only on the negatives of the present.

“it’s cold…”
“I’m tired..”
“there’s a lot of traffic…”
“the car in front of me drives like an idiot…”

I read a great quote today by a talented man…

I’ve been living my whole life thinking about how good my life was going to be in the future, and how shitty my life was in the past, so i was always pissing on the present.

Too many people can relate this comment…

Make your life happen.
