Take one day at a time

[image error]I am not a patient person. I hating waiting and tend to live in the future and think about tomorrow rather than live in the moment and worry about just today. I'm also a bit of a control freak (or so I'm told) and so that makes it hard to just be fancy free and not worry about what the future might bring and feel compelled to plan it out. What I have learned over the years is you can plan for the future and in some cases it's important (college for the kids, retirement etc) but in others it is more important, and less stressful, to live for today. Do your best today and then your best tomorrow and not worry about what you will do a year from now. Where I'm at now isn't even close to where I thought I would be five years ago. It's not close to the "plan" I had for myself and that's ok. In fact, it's great. I just lost a lot of time and sleep obsessing over that five year plan and worrying every day that it might not work out. Now that it's been five years I realize it did work out. I'm happy, it just wasn't according to my master plan. So while I still have a master plan, it's not so rigid and I am open to whatever the day might bring. Life is fun…enjoy it!
