Thinking ahead is important, but being able to be in the moment and reflect on the past is just as important.
We may want to be all in for playing the long game and to have as many steps as possible figured out as soon as possible... and yet finding a good balance between our thoughts on the future, the present, and the past is what can help us design the kind of life that will make us happy, thankful, and satisfied both short-term and long-term.
[How about three to five? You would prefer to have ten?
What's a good number for you?]
Thinking ahead is great, as long as we don't get lost in the process and forget about the present moment.
