Hey bro, 2 cents worth here.
To begin, I like your attitude - because the winners think
differently which explains why 0.15% of global population owns 39%
of global wealth. If you choose to live above the line, a cut above
the rest, no one can say anything about you - because it is your
life, our one life - we do what we want.
It's great to have big dreams for a couple of reasons. 1st when
obstacles come between you and your dreams, if your dream is bigger
than your obstacle, you'll overcome and achieve or like majority of
the population, are we going to turn around just because an
obstacle surfaced. 2nd, having big dreams is an attitude, that
shows you're not just living on this planet for yourself. (The lui
gong we tong when sch children approach us, doesn't really count
anymore since its more like on-the-way thing.) Feel the sense of
fulfillment when we contribute to the people around us.
All right, long story short, however, whatever you do bro. Enjoy
it, be present, be at that moment. Love what you do and embrace
every single experience. If you're studying - concentrate and study
- not think about weekends or girls, or lunch. You need to seperate
very clearly, having goals is different from whether or not you're
living in the present. For eg. To achieve big goals, there must be
small steps, and thus micro-steps. Give your full attention to
these micro-steps, same as give your soulmate, your partners full
attention when they speak. =)
(Sry if it's a little long, hope I helped and contribute to
everyone.)
I heart your post. Totally agree with you. I am the kind of
person who dwells on the past and the future, never the present.
But life taught me otherwise and I got a tight slap in the
face.
Always live in the present moment. Sure, it is our lives, we are
the CREATORS of our own life and destiny. Go ahead, make it grand,
or simple, whichever way you want it to be. Make plans. But don't
dwell, don't hold on so tightly. The key is to let go and TRUST.
Just do your best at every moment. When you have make the plans to
pursue your dreams, all you need to do is be present and enjoy each
moment you take. That is LIFE. Peace to all~
