You may find yourself easily distracted by thoughts of the future today as you struggle to cope with the rigors of your agenda. As a result of your preoccupation with the beautifully framed daydreams that flow into your mind, you will likely accomplish your goals much more slowly than usual. You can make certain that the time you spend thinking about what may come to pass has no ill effects on your life in the present today by dedicating some measure of your time to the pursuit of these waking dreams. Your distractions will then likely have no power to interfere with your forward momentum, yet can still provide you with insight into how to proceed.

Our daydreams can serve as a source of inspiration that help us formulate concrete life goals when we devote some portion of our time to such fanciful thoughts. When we believe that the time we spend imagining a diverse range of future possibilities is wasted, we may feel guilty about the pleasurable forays we take into unreality and, as a result, attempt to suppress our urge to indulge in reveries. Yet these waking dreams serve an important function in our lives, as it is in them that we often catch the first glimpses of the destinies that await us. Indeed, we should endeavor always to be cognizant of the composition of our daydreams so that we may better know what it is we hope to achieve in this life. You can avoid being judged preoccupied today by affording yourself plenty of time in which to lose yourself in imaginative patterns of thought.
