I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

Live in the moment

Lao Tzu
How important is your opinion?
Quote
We cling to our point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions pass like Autumn and winter.
Chuang Tzu
Beat the procrastination
Quote
Who says you need to wait until you ‘feel like’ doing something in order to start doing it? The problem, from this perspective, isn’t that you don’t feel motivated; it’s that you imagine you need to feel motivated. If you can regard your thoughts and emotions about whatever you’re procrastinating on as passing weather, you’ll realise that your reluctance about working isn’t something that needs to be eradicated or transformed into positivity. You can coexist with it. You can note the procrastinatory feelings and act anyway.
Oliver Burkeman
Preparation is key
You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you’re down to your reflexes – that means your [preparation:]. That’s where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that in the dark of the morning, well, you’re going to get found out now, under the bright lights.

The man on top of the mountain did not fall there.
