A lot of people have given me the above advice and I've never thought it to be particularly relevant. Eight years ago, I decided I would go to law school & every moment after that was lived towards that goal. Having such a difficult goal ahead of me gave my life purpose. I didn't see the value in living for today.
But now, a new chapter of my life begins, & I am realizing how quickly time passes, and how much I miss by worrying about the future. Living in the moment is my new goal. I am going to enjoy my surroundings: sunny days, fresh fruit, the sounds of the city, a clean apartment, clean clothes, freshly painted nails, good friends, baby nieces.
I want to enjoy all the wonderful things in my life instead of overlooking them in my hurry to focus on what brings me anxiety.

So often we get trapped thinking that we need something to happen before we can be happy. But, I've heard once before and I think it is very true, if your not happy here (now), you won't be happy there (then).
