Living for Tomorrow

You know those days where life pushes at you relentlessly from every angle, and you just want to say, "Okay, you win, I give up"? And then you just forfeit today and look forward to tomorrow, knowing that it should be better? Ya, days like today make me wish for tomorrow.

With that said...
I've recently realized that I haven't been appreciating the "seasons" in my life as I should. I keep wishing for tomorrows, not really realizing that the tomorrows I wish for are turning into todays. I haven't fully embraced some of the most exciting times in my life because I was so worried about what was coming the next day, week, month, or year. In short, constantly wishing for my future distracted me from "living in the present". My new goal: live in the present. Be prepared, but focus on embracing what my current position in life can offer. Sure, it's just a change of mindset, but I really think it'll help me to start seeing things from a fresh perspective. Will the new philosophy work? I hope so.

**As a postscript, I wish I could have conveyed the above sentiment without using so many cliché sayings (because it is irksome to use them so frequently) but it was impossible to avoid their overuse and still adequately describe my full view of the matter. For this, I apologize.
