Be there
Wherever you are, be there fully. For where you are is where 
you can most effectively act and live. 
If you're constantly wishing that you were somewhere else, 
you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. When 
your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions 
lose much of their effectiveness. 
It's great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new 
and improved circumstances. And yet the way to successfully 
do that is by being the best you can be in the place where 
you now find yourself. 
It's great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal. 
And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from 
the perspective of where you are now. 
To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must 
start with being fully here. The more you give your 
attention and your energy to making the most of where you 
are, the more quickly you'll move along that path. 
There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every 
place and in every moment. Be there fully for all of them, 
and life will be rich indeed.
