“In most cases, we cannot anticipate every possible turn of event, and no matter how diligently we are prepared, we are eventually caught off guard. Meanwhile, we’ve expended so much time and energy trying to predict future events, soothe future hurts, and prevent future consequences that we have missed out on TODAY’S OPPORTUNITIES. And the magnitude of the task we have set for ourselves has left us drained, overwhelmed, and distraught.” – Al-Anon

What opportunities are you missing out on TODAY because of your grand master 5/10 year plan? Slow down and look around. What is in your hand? What can you respond to today?
