Living in the Present vs the Future

We explore the importance of focusing on the present moment and acting with intention in our everyday lives, rather than being preoccupied with future ambitions or appearances. We touch on the idea that by concentrating on the quality of our current actions, like treating every workout and every rep with care, we set ourselves up for future success without taking shortcuts. The conversation also covers the pitfalls of cheating oneself in pursuit of quick wins, and the psychological reasons behind such behavior, even in non-competitive environments like our gym. We reflect on how maintaining a strong reputation and effort in the present can create opportunities in the future. Additionally, we discuss the influence of Stoic and Adlerian philosophies on living in the now and letting go of what we cannot control, contrasting these with the past-focused perspectives of traditional psychology. The dialogue format of the philosophical text we reference allows for an accessible understanding of these concepts, as we learn alongside the characters in the book "The courage to be disliked".
