Transforming Your Mindset: From "When-I-Finally" to Present Joy
Written on
Chapter 1: Breaking Free from the "When-I-Finally" Mindset
Have you ever found yourself in a constant chase for the next milestone, only to feel stressed and unfulfilled? I can relate. Not long ago, I was a corporate executive immersed in the "what's next" mentality, clocking in 80-hour workweeks and nearing burnout. While the experience was valuable, the relentless pace and overwhelming number of projects were exhausting.
However, everything shifted for me. Over a span of just two years, I developed a thriving portfolio business without the relentless grind or exhaustion. Want to know how I achieved this? It all began with a profound change in mindset—embracing the art of living in the moment while still keeping my future aspirations in focus.
Section 1.1: The Cost of Future Happiness
Have you ever thought, “I’ll be happy when I reach that goal”? I used to harbor this belief too. It’s a widespread notion that our happiness is contingent upon future achievements.

Section 1.2: Embracing the Present
Here’s the secret: begin to extract meaning from your life in the present moment. Importantly, this doesn’t imply neglecting your goals or dreams; it means not linking your happiness solely to those achievements. Picture yourself making progress towards your future while savoring and valuing the present. How liberating does that sound?
Finding Joy in Daily Life
Can you identify moments of joy in your everyday existence? If not, it’s likely that happiness feels perpetually out of reach. The key lies in fully immersing yourself in your daily activities and experiences. Redirecting your focus from a distant future to the present can lead to genuine fulfillment. Consider: what small pleasures can you relish today?
