“Don’t let your reflection on the whole sweep of life crush you.
Don’t fill your mind with all the bad things that might still happen.
Stay focused on the present situation and ask yourself why it’s so
unbearable and can’t be survived.”

STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT
• when we face tough situations or scary things, it's easy to get overwhelmed by thinking about all the challenges and dangers.
• But there's a trick to handle this. Instead of focusing on the big picture, we can pay attention to the small details right in front of us.
• Just like a person walking on a tightrope doesn't look down to see how high they are, or a sports team doesn't worry about their winning streak, we can focus on what we're doing right now.

“Pay attention to what’s in front of you—the principle, the task, or

HOW YOU DO ANYTHING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING
• The way you approach small tasks or moments reflects your overall attitude and habits.
• If you tend to avoid or neglect something small, you might also do the same with bigger things. Similarly, how you handle the present moment shows how you'll likely handle future moments.
• So, giving your best to what's in front of you, even if it seems unimportant, can shape your overall success and satisfaction.
