On To Prosperity

I found this in my “share-with-others” pile and am pleased to offer it now; it was an e-mail from a mentor, Steve Chandler:

Get out of the future, stay in the now.

You want to glance into the future when you make your goals, your objectives, your master plan, but then set that aside and then use every moment as a now moment. The opportunity in this moment, this phone call, this meeting, is so huge we miss it by our minds always being worried about the future. So the mind is out in the future, and the body is in the present moment trying to deal with this person, and it’s a total disconnect.

Life is pure opportunity. We just need to be practiced at being here for it.

On to prosperity,

Steve

Cheers!
