“I’d Rather Be Here Now”
The title of this post was seen on a license plate frame.
You will find joy wherever you are with this mindset. You may not want to be where you are right now, but this is where you need and are needed to be for now.
You can plan on changing where you are (sing along, We gotta get out of this place” The Animals) but while you are where you are, enjoy it by making yourself valuable.
By being valuable where you are, you fulfill a purpose and prepare yourself for your next stop. You wouldn’t go to a party empty handed. At least be like Seinfeld and bring a Chocolate Babka. Make people glad that you are there for what you bring.
