FROM THRIVE-ISH · A SHORT EXTRACT

Have it all planned out?

Thrive-ish is my occasional email: a personal note, something useful and things I’ve read, tried or enjoyed. Here’s a little of what lands in your inbox.

Life is messy, and with that comes a level of uncertainty that no amount of planning will entirely get rid of. We’re told to think ahead, prepare for the future and know where we’re going. Fair enough, but if we’ve got both feet firmly planted in next year, what are we doing with today?

I want things to look forward to and some idea of how I’m going to look after my future self. I’d also quite like to enjoy being this version of me while she’s here. She has things she wants to do, and I don’t think all of them need to wait until everything is sorted. That could be a bloody long wait.

One foot in the here and now, one hovering in the future. I don’t have the balance worked out either, but I’m not putting living on hold until I do.
