Consider this. If living in the now is so great, why is that studies show that the happiest people, with the highest well-being and highest scores of life satisfaction, are people with the strength of hope, optimism and future-mindedness? Could it be that “living in the now” is only half the picture? Planning, dreaming, and living in tomorrow, full of desire and wanting new things and new experiences, is a big part of the picture of happiness. Living in the future causes anxiety only when it is filled with worry about the future, rather than optimism. The secret is to live in the now, full of gratitude for all that is, high in the UpSpiral. This opens the door to the wants and desires of tomorrow to come in their own unique way. What a LIFE!
