- Do I tend to put off living in the present in order to worry about he future, or to yearn for some "magical rose garden over the horizon"? Yes I keep thinking and imagining a bad future where I am like the rest of the people I work with. That I will be like them old and hard working and just accepting the reality and hardship of life. I feel that I am too young to waste my time in this environment. I worry what would happen if I quit the job. It's been very difficult to find a decent job and so this is one major risk if I were to quit it. But if I did quit there would be rewards as well like freedom.
- Do I sometimes embitter the present by regretting things that happened in the past-that are over and done with? Of course I do. I rant and talk about my useless degree or how college and education was a scam whenever I get the chance. I failed and am bitter and all I do is focus on this negative energy yet it has some truth to it.
- Do I get up in the morning determined to "Seize the day" -to get the utmost out of these twenty-four hours? No. I have a negative mindset because I think about being demanded to wake up and get ready to go to work which lasts all day. And by the time that I get home I get super tired and unmotivated to do anything. I sometimes stress at work because it seems hectic at times. I do remember before when I would jump out of bed ready to rock and have something to look forward to. For one I think feminine energy is one catalyst or factor that makes me happy...
- Can I get more out of life by "living in day-tight compartments?" Of course! Focus every second and energy on the present moment. Didn't Thich Nhat Hanh always preach of this? Focusing on the present moment also means doing something and not wasting time away.
- When shall I start to do this? The answer is NOW/TODAY/OKAY
