Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant." - Robert Louis Stevenson
Where we're going is more important than where we are. Where we're going determines everything: our thoughts, actions, and our mood. When life's going to hell, we think negatively, act accordingly, and feel rubbish. When things are getting better, we think clearly, our actions keep pushing us forward, and we feel awesome.
We unconsciously know this. We feel, think, and act differently without realizing why, only to look back later, connect the dots, and see that life was moving in the wrong direction. To become more conscious, visualize the best and the worst possible futures. If you notice yourself feeling, acting, or thinking negatively, ask if you're moving towards the best or worst future, then make the changes needed to get back onto the right path.
