This is a great post. I find my self fighting my own drive a lot of the time too. I've been practicing for a long time to be present, but it still takes a lot of effort. It's all worth it though. There really is no point in attaining goals if we never slow down to enjoy them.
The trick I used to change my mindset was I made happiness my number one goal. It helps me keep perspective and I try to use my drive maximize my presence and happiness.
I love this topic and you wrote a beautiful article. Thanks so much for your time to share this with all of us. Cheers.
Thank you for the awesome comment! I agree, I am constantly on the pursuit of happiness. :) It is a hard thing to stay present, but I try my best!
All we can do is try and enjoy the ride.
Cheers.
