‘… before you determine where you want to go in the world, there is one critical navigational element. You must first establish exactly where you are.’- Jim Stovall

He is right. It does not matter what you want to do in your life. If you don’t have a strong foundation, it is not going to work.

To take care of your future, you must not forget where you are. Remember, whatever it is that you are doing right now, you are preparing yourself for your future.

If you are playing right now, you are playing with your future. If you are studying, you are studying to make your future a better one. If you are hanging out with the right people, you making your future connections.

Small or big, do not play with what you are doing right now. They can make or break you.

Before you do anything, ask yourself, ‘Is this thing going to be helpful in the future?’ If what you are doing right now is not going to help you achieve your desired future, then stop doing it.

Because if you continue to do it, your life will never change. But if you stop doing it, things will start to change in your life. And your life will never be the same again.
