The Danger of Deferring Satisfaction

In this podcast, Eckhart talks about setting goals and deferring
satisfaction. He says for many people, the activities they’re
engaged in are just a means to an end. He believes they are not
present in what they’re doing now, because they’re projecting
where they want to be in the future. Eckhart explains this is a
self-defeating way to live because while we may need to defer
satisfaction to reach a goal, there is also aninherent danger to
it. He says after years the pattern may become so engrained; we
no longer find satisfaction in anything we do because we’re so
used to deferring it. Eckhart says we must honor whatever we are
doing in the present moment and if we give it our full attention
then it is possible to feel clarity and joy.
