Things will be easier after… I’ll start doing this after… I’m going to turn things around when…

This attitude robs of your drive to make the best of the present moment. Gary Keller said in his interview with Tim Ferriss “You have to be appropriate in the moment. If you are, you’ve set yourself up for the next moment”.

We should absolutely be excited for and looking forward to future events. But don’t use a future expectation as an excuse to be less than your best in the present. Make the most of your moments and the moments you have will keep getting better and better over time.
