What you think of as "the future" is just a continuous repetition of the present moment; The so-called "living in the future" is essentially an escape from the powerlessness of the present. 1. Only the present is real, and the past and future are just illusions of thinking. 2. Stop "waiting for the right moment", the perfect moment never comes. 3. Think about what you want to be, and now act like that identity. 4. The root of anxiety and procrastination is that you try to live in a time that doesn't exist. In the past, I always fantasized about "waiting until I have money" and "waiting until I am ready" before starting life, but the days stagnated in waiting. Later I realized that time does not exist, only the creation of the present is real. Now I no longer hope for the future, but live every moment as if the future has come, and my life has become productive and fulfilling. Do you also think that as long as you survive the present, one day in the future will suddenly get better, only to find that the days are just repeating day by day? "Instant gratification" is not really living in the present, it is a pessimistic escape that gives up creation. To truly live in the present is to regard it as an action at the moment, even if you are making plans, because your future is made up of countless "presents".
