When You’re Feeling Stressed Out In Life
Remember this
170,000 don’t have a “next day” because their life ended today
This really hit home this morning when we were listening to one of our favourite podcasts – The Ed Mylett Show
We were listening to it on Spotify on our phone but we went and found it on YouTube and watched it again

As Ed says he guarantees that yesterday those people were lamenting about the future
One that didn’t exist for them
Just as someday for you won’t exist either
You may remember we wrote about that in our last blog in case you didn’t get to see it
And here’s the key points from Ed’s podcast
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly chasing the next thing—only to realize you’re too stressed to enjoy any of it?
I know that feeling all too well.
One of my biggest regrets in life is how much time I’ve spent in stress instead of in the moment.
And I know I’m not alone.
Stress isn’t happening in the present—it lives in the future.
It’s worrying about problems that don’t even exist yet.
But here’s the truth: Peace and productivity only exist in the now.
If you’re always “future traveling,” always chasing the next achievement, the next milestone, the next weekend… you’ll never truly arrive.
He goes on to share a powerful lesson he learned from a street artist in Central Park that he hopes will change the way you approach your dreams
The artist who sketched his daughter Bella
You CAN have big goals and dreams without letting them steal your joy.
You CAN move toward a vision for your life while still being fully present in the moments that matter.
The difference between success that’s fulfilling and success that leaves you empty comes down to one thing
Learning how to balance focus on the future with presence in the now.
This episode is your wake-up call to stop escaping into stress and start living in the richness of the present.
Key Takeaways:
- Why stress only exists in the future—and how to break free from it
- The difference between having a vision and “future traveling”
- A simple mindset shift that will help you enjoy the journey AND the destination
- How the most successful people separate from outcomes and stay present
- The one thing that will make your relationships, career, and happiness better instantly
Your life is happening right now—don’t miss it
The photo was taken in Central Park in the winter some years ago when we were speaking at an event
We’re so glad we were present in the moment taking take to appreciate our special time and creating memories we will remember for a very long time
Exactly the point Ed Mylett is making in his podcast and on his YouTube Video sharing the same message
Don’t be one of the 170,000 who regrets not having tomorrow!
