Success in the Precious Present

You know the funny thing about success? It's tricky to figure out.

For example, success requires you to ignore the past while creating the future you're living into today.

Confused? Yeah, that's what I mean.

Success requires you to live in the present moment at all times, while keeping an eye on what you want the future to be.

It's kind of like when an artist is creating something...the whole time they're living in the moment, creating whatever they're creating, they're actually thinking about what it's going to look like in the future.

Not what they want it to look like, not what they hope it will look like, not what will happen if they can't get it to look like what they want it to look like...these are all worries of hte amateur, not the true artist. The artist simply holds a vision of the future while taking action in the present.

Wow, that really is a great analogy for success. I've even impressed myself.

So allow me to translate:

You will be successful as long as you can hold your vision of the future (what you want the outcome to be) while taking action in the present.

And rememebr that you can't create anything new or different as long as you're still focused on the past (what you already know).

Your question of the day:
What do you intend to create for the future? What do you need to let go of in your past before you can create your future right now?
