The inspiration for this came to me after I realized that I suck at being present :)

I am constantly asking myself what comes next? After I reach this goal what happens next? Once I finish this, what comes next? Once I've mastered this, then what?

I think that's why I never feel content with or proud of my accomplishments - because I don't give myself the time to feel those feelings. It's like I check off a box and immediately start thinking about the next task. I think that's pretty common though - especially in western cultures. Everything is always go, go, go, and things are rarely oh wait but what if we just chill for a second and enjoy ourselves.

We need to ~collectively~ practice being more present. Yes, having goals is good. Having deadlines and working on projects is good. But recognizing that we are here - now is also important.
