I’ve been holding onto the worry of how to make the best possible future for me long term. I think about whether I should live in a cheap Latin American country to enjoy life and save money, which Latin American country I should live in, should I live in New Zealand to enjoy the holidays and nature there, should I look for communities with a lot of friends, and a ton of what if’s of where I should live and what career I should do.

The reality is there is no way to truly know what the future is like. It’s unlikely that anyone could have accurately predicted the major or even minor events that would happen to them in the past.

Letting go of the worry about creating the perfect future would allow me to better spend my time enjoying the present moment and making it better sooner if it isn’t well. It would allow me to confidently say “I’m doing my best, so everything will work out fine.” because I know that by doing my best, I can transition from lows in life to highs faster (even if they aren’t the highs I initially wanted/expected).

Thus, letting go of creating the perfect future would allow me to enjoy the present in a more confident and content manner.
