I try so hard not to wish my time away. I hate the feeling of looking forward all week to friday afternoon, wishing it would hurry up and get here already, then by sunday morning I am dreading the following morning. This is such a horrible cycle in my life. There are also these little micro-cycles like, I can’t wait to get home each night to play with my kids instead of being in the moment and appreciating each moment for it’s own value, like focusing on right now and working instead of looking at the clock and wishing away these last 5 minutes.
At the same time, I think it is important to look forward to other times. When you can scratch a completed goal off your list, for example. Dreams are one of the most important aspects of humanity, they are what make each of us unique.
So the struggle is to keep the dream in focus while enjoying right now for the fact that it is…merely right now.
Hmmmmmmmm.
