Living in the moment can, but does not always, equal short-term focus.

When thinking in the short term you’re concerned with the now.

And what can be in the now, what others opinions are, what your current situation may be, will often change in a few years.

It is in mine and your best interest to establish what our long-term objectives are and to act in alignment with them. This preestablished plan will sometimes come at the cost of what others value as “living in the moment” but and I believe it will allow us to be the most fulfilled in the long term.
