It’s easy to live in an endless state of “when-I-get-there.”
You know the place.
It’s where happiness awaits, just outside your grasp.
It’s retirement.
A promotion.
A new title.
Recognition, a raise, flexible hours.
So lets get to the bottom of it: Where is there?
What are you banking on for the future?
Ask yourself this question:
Will it be worth the wait?
Worth whatever you’re doing right now that isn’t there?
You’ll find a lot of answers along the way. So get going. Ask the hard questions.
And please let me know in the comments below: How can I help you get there?
If my writing helps or inspires you, please share it with other people. This is the number one way you can support my writing.

Great question. We do spend a lot of time searching for something else, something over there or up ahead, something more. I think consumerism is part of the cause — we’re told we’re not good enough, we need this or that, all the time. It’s crazy. There is here. Right now. This is it and I intend to live right here and now.
Awesome response. I think you’re on to something with the consumerism bit. Reading Glamour magazine last week, I felt overwhelmed by inadequacy.
I put that issue down fast!
