don't wish away today


“I have a rule in my life, and the rule is: Never wish for less time. Waiting for things to be over is just wishing for less time. Waiting for this to be over to get to the next thing–that’s just wishing for less time.”
- John Mayer

A nice little reminder that as you are excited for the next chapter in your Pursuit, or anxious about discovering what might be next, don't overlook the present moment and wish to be in the future.

I know I'm guilty of doing this, and I'm sure many of the readers of the Daily Notes are as well.

Don't forget while the future version of your Self is exciting, it has a shorter lifespan than your current version---and the future isn't guaranteed.

So be excited about what is to come, but don't wish away today.

You can be excited about both!

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

Armed with just a map and a full tank of gas, the father and son began their trip. After a couple of hours on the road, they arrived at a fork in the road—a fork that wasn’t on their map. Confused by the...

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Note, I started the day being lazy–laying on the couch, binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, and researching different breathwork trainings. My lazy Sunday didn’t stop there. I did some reading.I watched some football.I took a couple of short naps.I cut the backyard.I watched two movies on the couch with Silas in the evening. I didn’t think about work, I didn’t think about writing anything, and I didn’t feel the need to be on my computer planning for the...

I’ve spent a large chunk of this morning being “lazy,” binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, getting ideas out of my head and into Notion, and researching different breathwork training programs--it's been extremely refreshing being lazy for a bit. Now isn’t the time, but in the next year, I’d like to start a program to become a breathwork facilitator to use in my LifeDesign+ work and even do small group sessions. I know that becoming a great facilitator will require me to learn different...
