This Week I Learned...Don't Steal Your Future

I was impatiently churning about a house I wanted, wishing I had it now. (Ever feel like you want what you want RIGHT NOW?) All of a sudden, I realized that that would be theft. It would be stealing the future. Picture this. Your life is a movie, and somewhere on the reel is a series of frames that look like what you want now. Insisting on having that condition met now is like moving forward on the reel, finding what you want, and clipping it out of the reel to move to now. Even if you could do that, you'd be screwing up your future, because when you get to that part of the reel, you'd find a big, ugly gap.

Action step: Live in the moment. Be appreciative and accepting of whatever is in your now, understanding that your dreams will manifest in their own time. Enjoy those visions of the future, but don't insist on their manifestation prematurely. Don't steal your future.
