Plan for the future while still enjoying the Now

I have kind of burned my youth in order to do those jobs which just burn time but does not earn much income. And that means the future is kind of bleak when you are not going to do some actions.

I think that's one of the takeaway from my life where the enjoying the now was missing and instead I kind of lost most of my time trying to chase the future. So neither future, nor the now was useful.

This happens when you take one bad decision and things kind of cascade into series of the bad steps that does not have any difference in the output. So we try to make changes to our life.

Let's try and find out what we can do and how we can plan for the future while enjoying the now.

Budget. Save and Invest.

It all starts with budget. Unless you know how much you spend, lose and save. You just can't get the bigger picture. And you have to understand those small details to build yourselves further.

When you budget your moves, you understand how much do you need to save. You have to also learn to invest, because that is your ticket to the freedom. Something you just can't have it in your life unless you have money saved.

Money saving is what leads to the solution. As you build the savings and also build investment, things change in your life. Something you can't predict would happen otherwise. That's my experience.

Be frugal, Enjoy Small Things.

You cant enjoy the life like rich people unless you are frugal and saving. If you are not rich now, don't force it. Instead be frugal and enjoy the simplicity as well. That's also one way to feel like rich and enjoy the small life.

Once you enjoy the frugal and simplicity. Things would look lot easier and simple. Because more chaotic and more accumulation of things, the harder they become with the needs instead of wants and all of this mix up.

Enjoy minimalism. Enjoy the frugal life. That way you would find yourself in much rich and stable type of the lifestyle. Which in turn would be building your life along the way. That's what builds your overall life experience too.

Outsource, Free up Time.

Biggest thing that you need is you have to free up the time. You have to learn to outsource. Because unless you free up the time. You would not enjoy the now. You have to live in the now and so you have to outsource small things. Or big things.

What applies in case of things you outsource depends on your weakness. Outsource your weakness and let other people do the work. This is the only way to make things easier for you to build up on as well.

So if you wish to move ahead you have to learn to outsource and free your time. There is no other way around. Because unless you outsource, freeing up time is just not possible as well. let's see how that would work.

Let go of things You Lost.

A lot of things we can't get as we age. And there is no way we can fight against nature. Some of the time losing a lot can also bring you new options. Which is what we should be chasing as it is if you ask me.

You lose some then you have something free to add into as well. So letting go of the past is the way forward. Build on that. Because if you are full with life experience then nothing new can be learned along the way.

So let go of the things. Let go of things that trouble you. So you have enough in your plate to accumulate and enjoy. That is what works for most of the time. I have seen that is what works for me.

In order to live in now. You have to learn to let go of past. You have to do things that allow you to live in the now. Some things can be fixed and some of the things would only break you mentally.

That's been my experience, what is your experience so far?

Yes, I am also doing the things that I love. It's part of enjoying the moment. Even how busy we are, we need to make time so that we can do the things that can make us happy. One of the things that makes me happy is driving. I love being in control and being able to go to any place.

Somehow past is stuck in my mind and I badly want to forget all those memories but I can because I made a lot of mistakes that I think come in front of me in near future and I am feeling scared of that time

I love the fact that you said we should always try to enjoy ourselves. I've noticed that a lot of people do not want to enjoy themselves until they get to a particular stage in life. It's not supposed to be so because there's a kind of enjoyment for every standard of living in life. This is my point
