My life seems to be a perpetual list of goals and stages. I keep thinking, "When I get done with this point in my life, then I can finally do this." Even right now I just have a list of things to get through, both short and long term. Sometimes its just making it through the week that I focus on.

To some extent we must be forward-thinking. The future has to be considered when making major decisions. But I think I am spending far too much of my daily life living for tomorrow. I am tired of living like that. I want to take each day for itself, not how much closer it will get me to another time.

It is difficult to do that. Where do you begin? And what do you do with the monotony that you cannot escape? I guess you have to seek that internal motivation that will get you through the daily tasks not just for the sake of getting through them, but for the joy of having been able to do them.
