Old age isn’t guaranteed. Neither is next season. Play this one.

Plans quietly assume a supply of future that nobody has actually been promised. That is not a reason to be anxious, since worrying changes nothing and spoils the present as well. It is a reason to stop treating the current stretch as a warm up for the real one that comes later.

Look at what you are postponing until you are better, older or more ready. Take one piece of it and do that piece in this season instead. The present is the only part you have been handed for certain.
