"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." -- Abraham Lincoln
Wise Words on HUMAN NATURE
There is nothing wrong with long(er) term planning. Some projects (governance, science, careers, building a business, raising a child) benefit from thinking in terms of months and even years.
But as far as living goes, ONE DAY is a full-time job. Deciding what to do with our ~1K minutes of daily awake time can fully occupy our brain/body and demand all the precious limited resources (energy, attention, thinking etc.) we have on tap.
So the steady drip-drip-drip of our days is a beautiful way for existence to deliver our future in right-sized pieces that fit neatly within our evolved adaptive capacity.
Make it a good day!
An excellent reminder Baird***thanks. Abraham sure spewed some wisdom!
Thank you Baird, for this reminder to pay attention on today.
I view planning like the weather forecast. I may have a handle on what I'm going to do tomorrow but anything more than five days out, is at best an unreliable guess, hope or fear.
The only things I am certain of are the core values I aspire to. They will never change.
Cheers
