Be Present

Aaron is wondering how to set himself up for success in the future.

Today is yesterday’s future.

The best way to set yourself up for success is to understand what will make you happy today. When you’re doing what makes you happy, you will work around the clock to make it happen.

How do you focus on today with tomorrow in mind?

1. What lifestyle are you looking for? Do you need a flexible schedule or would you like to work from anywhere? Do you prefer to be in an office face to face with your coworkers? Do you want to be your own boss?

2. What is the problem you want to solve? What are you passionate about? Do you enjoy technology, helping people, creating things? When you figure out the problem you want to solve, you’ll understand your niche in the market

3. What does a good culture mean to you? Do you want a place where all ideas are heard? Do you want to have to create tools and share your knowledge or have things provided to you? Do you want to blend into the background or shine in the spotlight?

Your future begins today. If you were going to spend all of your time doing one thing, what would that thing be? What you wanted yesterday might not be the same thing you want tomorrow, You have to periodically check in with yourself as you learn and grow over time. Be honest with yourself regarding what you really want. Don’t live someone else’s dream because you think that’s who you’re supposed to be. Happiness comes from within. I hope you find it.
