Worrying about the future is futile. We don’t have enough information about what lies ahead. When the future does arrive, so will the resources we’ll need to handle it. Agonizing over what may never even happen makes us unhappy now and doesn’t improve our ability to deal, when and if what’s dreaded does appear. Since our dominant mood determines how effective we are at handling our affairs, the best thing we can do for our efficiency, effectiveness and overall well-being, is to find something to help us stay joyfully focused…

In the present moment.
