The Present

Humans have a gift for mentally transporting themselves to the past or the future in a zap.

But with power comes responsibility.

While mental time travel helps us reflect on our past decisions, mistakes, and successes and visualise an ideal future, it can stagnate our growth when overdone.

Progress happens in the present.

This book summary will help you understand the importance of living in the present and how it can help you reach your wildest dreams.

Let's craft the foundation by understanding that:

Success is relative

Although we try to brand the definition of success into a universally relevant package, success varies from person to person.

Success doesn't always mean more money, more fame and respect.

You might be making a modest income, far less than your friends, but consider yourself successful because you're living your dream working on a job or business you love.

Similarly, a travel blogger might not own a house or car, but they might consider themselves incredibly successful because they can travel the world to experience different cultures and places.

One of your colleagues might not have the top work performance scores and hold high ranks in the corporate world, but they might consider themselves successful because they have a loving family and ample time for themselves.

The cookie-cutter definition of success doesn't apply to everyone.

Moreover, the meaning of success grows with you.
