People are always worried about what's happening next. They often find it difficult to stand still, to occupy the now without worrying about the future. People are generally not satisfied with what they have; they are very concerned with what they are going to have.

About This Quote

People are always worried about what's happening next. They often find it difficult to stand still, to occupy the now without worrying about the future. People are generally not satisfied with what they have; they are very concerned with what they are going to have. People think of the future as a place where everything will be better than right now.

They think that if they make it to the future and things aren't as good as they'd like, it's their own fault and they should do something about it. But, on the other hand, people think that if life is really bad—when things don't go as planned or as expected—it must be because of something that happened in their past that they can't change.
