No. Not as a universal truth, and certainly not to me. Maybe to you, and in that case thank you for sharing.

And I will take your sharing as an invitation: to me, disregarding the present moment in favor of a hypothetical future has proven to be a dangerous trap several times in my life. I love making plans and being ambitious, but I won’t sacrifice reality for the sake of what only exists as fear, desires, or temporary dreams. I recognize that my actions have consequences, but I find true happiness and freedom only in the reality of who I am in this moment.

The long run counts, but how else can you even grasp it if not by honoring each of its essential components — each of its todays?
