Summary

Are You Chasing Stress Instead of Success? Do you ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next thing—only to realize you're too stressed to enjoy any of it? I know that feeling all too well. One of my biggest regrets in life is how much time I’ve spent in stress instead of in the moment. And I know I’m not alone. Stress isn’t happening in the present—it lives in the future. It’s worrying about problems that don’t even exist yet. But here’s the truth: Peace and productivity only exist in the now. If you’re always “future traveling,” always chasing the next achievement, the next milestone, the next weekend… you’ll never truly arrive. In this episode, I’ll share a powerful lesson I learned from a street artist in Central Park that will change the way you approach your dreams. Because here’s the key—you CAN have big goals and dreams without letting them steal your joy. You CAN move toward a vision for your life while still being fully present in the moments that matter. The difference between success that’s fulfilling and success that leaves you empty comes down to one thing: learning how to balance focus on the future with presence in the now. This episode is your wake-up call to stop escaping into stress and start living in the richness of the present. Key Takeaways: Why stress only exists in the future—and how to break free from it The difference between having a vision and “future traveling” A simple mindset shift that will help you enjoy the journey AND the destination How the most successful people separate from outcomes and stay present The one thing that will make your relationships, career, and happiness better instantly Your life is happening right now—don’t miss it.
