You don’t have to choose between being present and building your future.

You’re home with your family and you want to enjoy it. But you’ve also got goals, a job, and a life you’re trying to create. Focus only on the present and nothing moves. Focus only on the future and you miss what’s right in front of you.

This episode breaks down how to hold both by being grateful for the future you’re creating, before it shows up.

In this episode:

• Tony Robbins’s three places to put your focus: the past, the present, and the future
• Why a client’s positive vision “felt fake,” and why his worst-case scenario was just as made up
• The question Tommy asked a CEO who studied meditation for years before returning to corporate life
• Joe Dispenza’s idea that gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership
• The study where only the grateful group chose to wait for the bigger reward
• How gratitude shows up as patience in your business and with your kids

Mentioned: Episode 22 (Clean Up Your Past so You Can Crush Your Future), Episode 23 (How to Better-Leverage Your Future), Episode 118 (You’re Busy, But Not Going Anywhere), and the Joshua Tree trip

Takeaways:

• Focusing on regret and second-guessing the past rarely brings the fulfillment you’re after.
• The present is where fulfillment and appreciation live.
• Your worst-case scenario is just as made up as your best-case one, so pick the one that helps.
• Feeling good didn’t make people more patient. Feeling grateful did.
• Write down what you’re grateful for right now, then what you want to create, and be grateful for that too.

Be grateful for where you are. Be grateful for where you’re going. Then notice how much less rushed you feel.
