“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” -Heraclitus
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who? -song “Who Are You?” by The Who
The you of today.
Is not the you of yesterday.
Nor the you of tomorrow.
All that matters is the you of today.
To connect with that today person, ask yourself the following:
“Who am I?”
“What exactly am I doing?” “Why am I doing it?” “Do I still need to and want to do this?”
“What am I excited to work on?” “Why am I excited about it?”
Asking yourself these questions (or variations of them) will help you avoid sunk costs and future planning.
Instead, you can be here now.
And be the very best you of today.
