Could finding fulfillment come from fully embracing each present moment, rather than relentless pursuit of some distant dream? An exclusive emphasis on amassing assets for an uncertain future often comes at the cost of time with loved ones. It represents an affordable way to enjoy hard-earned money in the present rather than defer gratification to an uncertain future. I cannot fault those who prioritize today’s fulfillment when tomorrow feels so uncertain. But perpetual focus on the present alone discounts tomorrow’s unknowns, which can just as easily hold surprises worth preparing for.
