As far as I can tell we only get one day at a time.  There must be a reason for that.  Maybe because it is exactly what we can handle.  All the planning for the future doesn’t mean much if it simply takes us out of the present.  It is important to create and imagine, to dream and to aspire to something more than we think is possible in this moment.  But if we spend all our time thinking about the future then we miss out on the creation, imagination, dreams and aspirations that are present to us in the moments of today.  A good question to ask yourself is: when I imagine this ideal future, who am I being in that future?  What qualities do I posses when I have that thing or reach that goal?  Then you know what qualities to cultivate in today.  For example, when I have my ideal job I imagine feeling a sense of living in greater alignment with my purpose, walking with an inner confidence that I am making a unique contribution, and curiosity of how the next interaction with team players will enfold. So I can take out those qualities–alignment, confidence of purpose, and curiosity and look at how I can begin to be those things in this day.  Then I am not spending the majority of my day wishing that I was somewhere else.  My prayer for us today is that we take a closer look at what our future plans will call us to be and have the courage to test them out in this day.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
