Speculation and focus

One of the most nefarious tools the resistance within us employs is to get us to habitually speculate about the future rather than focus on taking action in the present.

Such speculation starts off interesting but soon simply succeeds in stopping all progress with analysis paralysis and worry. There’s no end to asking “what if” questions.

Speculation works like salt. A pinch is great. Too much spoils the dish.

Our energy is best focused on figuring out how to do the best with what we have right now.

The quality of the future isn’t determined by the quality of our speculation. It is determined by the quality of the action we take today.
