why chasing the future will always leave you empty

from the presence of being podcast · host presence of being

Most of us live as if we have to endure the present to earn a better future, pushing through x just to finally get y. In this video, I talk about why that mindset leaves us feeling unfulfilled, especially when it comes to goals we actually care about. When we stop treating the present moment as something to skip and start engaging with it through presence and curiosity, the process becomes lighter, more enjoyable, and progress starts to feel natural. Life doesn’t happen at the finish line. It happens now, and everything changes when you learn to live there. Hope you enjoy listening.TikTok video that inspired this recording: https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_/video/7597441194821487880presence of being hats: https://www.presenceofbeing.coWatch this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/habjLfwThbg⁠
