now

What is more important - acceptance of where you are and what you've got or making progress towards your goals and dreams and what you want? On an actual physical journey, it's definitely the latter. If you are walking from one place to another, you keep walking. But life is different. 

The future itself never arrives, or rather, we never arrive at it. All we really have control over is the present moment. In a sense, that's true, but in a sense, it's not. The present moment is not all we have. Our past and our future are ours as well, we just have a different relationship with them. And, just like lines and points are ideals that can never be realized in this world because a true line or point would be invisible, the present moment is an unrealizable concept. So, effectively, there's no such thing as the present moment, or, at least, we can't really perceive it. We live on a continuum between the past and the future and our present is informed by both.
