Oftentimes, we find ourselves in a particular place or circumstance, and we think or hope that it will “last.” Sometimes, we get so caught up in wanting something to be perfect and permanent, that we forget that life, itself, is neither of those things.
Wherever you are in life, that is where you are, and that is where you are meant to be. However, it doesn’t mean that you are meant to be there forever.
~
Where you are, you are. Whatever talents and resources you have at your disposal, you must make the absolute most of… right here, and right now.
~
Wherever it is that you find yourself in life, the important thing to remember is that it’s not about how long you are there, but the reason why you’re there. In other words… What’s important isn’t the quantity of days that you’re there, but the quality of your purpose for being there. And therefore, what matters is not how long you spend in that particular place or situation; what matters is the quality of the contribution you make while you are in that place.
~
Focus on the quality of your purpose, and not necessarily on the quantity of how long you will be somewhere.
~
Focus on the quality of your contribution, not on the quantity of how long you will be there to contribute. Concentrate on doing your best and on doing the most that you can do, to have as big of an influence as you can on those around you right now. Don’t get caught up in the hypotheticals of tomorrow; don’t get tangled up in the dreams of the future… instead, make your contribution in the right-here and right-now.
Give your best effort to do your best work in the present. Don’t wait for tomorrow, and don’t assume anything about the future. Focus on today, and concentrate on the quality of what it is you do today. Focus on quality, not quantity.
