“No one loses a life but the one they're currently living, and no one experiences any life other than the one they’re losing. The longest and shortest lives are, in the end, the same, because the present moment is all we truly have.” - Marcus Aurelius

The present moment is all we truly control.

Whether we worry about past losses or future deals, those concerns only distract us from what’s right in front of us.

For salespeople, this is a call to focus on the now. Every sales conversation is an opportunity that only exists in the present.

Stop worrying about what’s next, just give your full attention to the prospect you’re engaging with today.

Now is the only moment that can move you forward.

Actionable tips:

• Treat each interaction with your clients as if it's the only one that matters, because in the present moment, it is.
• Let go of past mistakes and future worries. Focus on what you can control now, your actions, your words, and your mindset.
• Take a few deep breaths or do a quick reset before jumping into your next task. This will help you stay centred in the present moment.

Remember you will die.
