There’s the ideal place in your mind. Then there’s the place you are right now.

While many would suggest taking the steps from here to there as a process, what we need to be careful of is the destination itself.

The ideal is just an idea. It’s a moving target that constantly shifts because it’s not where you are right now and since we’ve never been there, we don’t know how to envision it properly (which is why so many of us look towards others as a reference point).

Right now is where things need to happen.

This moment is where things need to work.

Instead of considering how to get to an ideal place, it might be better to ask how to create it with what you have right now.
