Future is fuzzy

Published: Thursday, 21 March 2013

I used to get anxious about the future.  Whether I could get a good job, where I would live, if I would have enough money to survive.

But then I realised that I was spending too much time focusing on the far-away future, 10-years from now - something that I had no idea in the slightest about.

I was living into a future being scared and fearful.  When instead, I should have been living in the present and making the most of every moment now.

And that's when I started doing, rather than dreaming.
