Right here.

pick

 

Yes, right here. There's no better place, and no other place that makes as much sense as right here.

Oh sure, I could look around for much longer, seeking that ultra-perfect spot, the one with every condition and nuance that's just so...perfect, but what would that gain me? What would that gain this? What good is it to live in the future, or the past, or always second guess what could be, or what is around the next corner, or spending so much time looking for something that is better.

What could be better than right now? The present is where we live.

Of course, we can learn from the past. And we should definitely plan for the future, but those two elements are about growth, and learning, and goals, and hopes and dreams, and everything that should add to our lives in the present.

We live now. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Now.

And if we spend too much time seeking what isn't in our hands right now, then we will miss everything we have in front of us right now -- and that's a everything.
