Don't overlook what you have NOW by focusing on what you are working towards in the future.We live in a world of perpetual doing. Thinking about the future, and the past, making plans, and completing tasks. There's nothing inherently wrong with that – BUT - we do risk missing out on the joy of being, appreciating our experiences in this momentThis was clearly illustrated to me by one of my previous guests – who left a profound impression on me.Recently I attended an incredibly moving memorial service to celebrate the life of Liz Clarke-Saul. Liz was a para-cyclist for Britain, who was told that she had incurable bone cancer in 2018. We spoke on my podcast back in 2019, the year before she died.This bitesize clip from our conversation is about being grateful for what you have - now.In focusing on what we don’t have, we miss out the miraculous things we do have – family, friends, health and – most importantly – life.
