You can’t succeed by worrying about the future

Dance like no one’s watching. Sing like no one’s listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt.

We’ve heard these plenty of times.

Future is far. Future is unknown. The only way you can shape the future is by focusing on the present.

The dancer indulges in dancing without worrying if she looks graceful. Her concern is just to be focussed in the steps she needs to take. One step at a time. One turn at a time. One gesture at a time. All of those steps, gestures combined takes shape of something beautiful we all appreciate.

Many times you fail to appreciate beautiful moments because you are too worried about the future.

Similarly, in the battle, if you are worried about your survival, you won’t be able to focus on fighting. Someone else more focussed will surely defeat you. So head into the battle without expecting to survive. Face everyone without a fear. That’s how you stand alive.

How are you doing in the battle of your life? Are you too busy planning your escape route in the future?

Seize the present moment, the future will take care of itself.
