Great reminder! I have made several bigger changes to my life in the past year and am starting to feel increasingly comfortable in my new situation even though time management is sometimes tough. However, dropping some of the new hobbies or clubs for that reason seems a bit rash. So I guess it comes down to what still makes you grow and revisiting the potential of each activity regularly.

On "how can we enjoy the present while also keeping a pulse on change and being ready to adapt when it’s time?" - I actually believe that being present is precisely what we need to see opportunities for what they are. Being present to me means being alert, agile and willing to adapt. If we are not present, we might not be able to "see the forest for the trees".

Great points, Jasper, and I completely agree. The feeling present also allows us to ground ourselves and make better decisions too. Always a balance of being ready to act and feel confident in that decision too. And other times enjoying the present and what we have without itching for change. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
