The future has not arrived, yet the mind can carry it from today. Returning to the task in front of us helps us do what is actually possible now.
Worry Does Not Make the Future Clearer
Planning ahead can help, but repeated worry does not give us control over everything.
Return to What Is in Front of You
Ask what you can truly do now, and work with that.
A Dhamma Perspective
Mindfulness brings the mind back to the present: make good causes without clinging to a particular result.
What You Can Do Today
- Write only a few important tasks for today.
- Do one thing at a time instead of rushing into tomorrow.
- When the mind runs ahead, return to the breath.
One Good Thing Today
There is always room today to create a good cause.
Come Back Tomorrow
Meet the new day without carrying more of the future than necessary.
