Now and later

The circle of now is enormous. We have a constant need for maintenance: hunger, thirst, temperature, emotions. This can spike our need for more, and more right now can appear to be the right answer.

However, investing in tomorrow is a great way to build a life of significance, purpose, and meaning. Too often, we are seduced to trade tomorrow for today. After all, there’s no telling if tomorrow will come.

Constantly, we are faced with the choice of making things better tomorrow or taking what’s in front of us today. The ones who appear the happiest understand how to balance and invest in something that could pay out in the future. Perhaps, for someone else to enjoy that isn’t even here yet.
