While many of our efforts are aimed towards the future, taking time to ground ourselves in the present is very important. If we think of life as if we’re in the middle of a forest, we obviously want to move to brighter pastures. The next turn that we make is all predicated upon where we are at the moment and what we want to get out of the future.

Being self aware and not deceiving yourself are both key points in deciding if you’re heading in the right direction.
