Another message from my Aqua Self

Most time-management and self-help books tell you to start by imagining your perfect life, in a fair amount of detail. There's something to this. It helps give you focus if you have clear goals, and also if you know what you want you'll be able to recognize it when it comes along.

But, but. In my current life, imagining isn't appropriate, because I haven't been here long enough to know who I'll be here, or how this place will affect me and my long-term desires.

So, my Aqua Self says to me, "Stop trying to imagine. Just open your eyes."

I can't live in a detailed future yet, so I'll just try to observe the present.
