Perhaps this is the perfect motto to live by, so long as you regard it in a positive sense. Do good things for yourself, for your world, for your people. Let it lead to other good things.
If something not so good happens, cut it off at the source. Don’t dwell on it- address it from a reasonable standpoint, move on and to the next beneficial action (or inaction)
Do you see life as a series of connected events? Or is most of it separated and unrelated?
Early in life, I think we do try to do good things for our future, but we have so little knowledge about the world that we don’t know what we’re getting ourself into. this can come to bite us, for we bit off more than we can chew.
So in a sense it’s best to start in tiny google manageable increments when we are young rather than the large chunk (*cough* college). With the small increments, we’re more likely to move in the right direction, because with a lower “speed” we can handle and assess when to turn better. Otherwise, turning is barely an option.
So let one little thing lead to another, in the best way possible
