My goal is to not hope for another life than the one I have.
I’m awake to the fact that one day I won’t be here anymore–that one day I’ll die–become a corpse.
And I’m not going to ignore that fact like most people do. Simply enough, I won’t go on acting as if I’ll live forever.
I’m doing exactly what I want to do–now–impeccably. I won’t hope for another life. This one will have to be good enough.
Understand that all of the joy there is to be had is right here in front of us, in our immediate environment.
So have an interest in your life–being a part of the present–never hoping for another life than your own.
Ask yourself, what is worth doing whether I fail or succeed? And that is what you should pursue.
