Because she needs love, and so do you.

And then here's the third time zone, the future.

And that's something to look forward to.

That's keenness of anticipation.

Now, a little of this can go a long way.

According to Marty Seligman at University of Pennsylvania, the average homo sapiens spends 30% to 50% of the time thinking about the future because...

It's incredibly adaptive.

You practice future scenarios, see the dangers, come back to the present and don't choose those routes and those paths into the future.

That's how we, that's why human beings are so awesome is because we're able to make mistakes in our minds and not make them in real life.

And so the average person is literally 30 to 50% of the time in the future, but the average striver, and I'm looking at you,

and I'm kind of looking in the mirror, spend something like 80% of their time in the future.

These are estimates.

Your results may vary, as they say in the commercials.

But if you're 80% of your time in the future and it's all castles in the sky, this can go a long way.

But if you're the kind of person who lives with a little bit of dread,

then thinking about things that you can look forward to is all about the savoring of the future.

So you got to figure out, is that your challenge or not?

If it's not your challenge, good.

If it is, that's what to do.

You don't have to really choose.
