What if the path to happiness isn't where all the spotlights are shining? While most seek contentment in the thin slice of "now," true fulfilment lives in a paradox.

We're stuck in what I call "now-ish" thinking—that anxiety-producing zone of yesterday's failures and tomorrow's deadlines. We're taught to live in the moment, yet rarely consider where our moments are leading us.

True happiness requires an honest look at your 30-year trajectory. Are you building skills you want to master for decades? Hanging with friends who'll still challenge you in 2055? The work that drains you today will absolutely crush your soul twenty years from now. But immediate happiness isn't found in some mystical future achievement either.

Small daily habits can make a big difference to the quality of our days from opening up deeper conversations to knocking on the door of our limits.

Practical lessons this episode:

  • Stop obsessing over now-ish problems and pay attention to what really matters
  • The way to keep potential alive
  • Choose one focus each day rather than drowning in endless possibilities
