Over the course of my life and career...
I've noticed a distinctive difference between financially successful people and everyone else that gets more and more noticeable the older I get.
Financially successful people rarely talk about or reminisce about the past.
They don't even think about it.
They focus all their energy forward...
100% of the time.
Everybody else talks about...
Thinks about...
...and lives in the past constantly.
I suspect somewhere in the middle is a good place to be.
...But it seems like most people fall into one of these two extremes.
If you find yourself entangled in your past...
It's time to move on.
If you find yourself constantly worried about the future...
Focus on the actions you're taking right now which are creating the future you're so anxious about.
Free yourself from these extremes...
Learn to live in the present while still working for the life you'd like to have in the future.
It's important to stay focused...
But that focus belongs in the present.
Nowhere else.
