“Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.” — Ryan Holiday

Fear loves the future. It paints worst-case scenarios in high-def. It whispers what if this goes wrong? What if I fail? What if they find out I don’t have it all together?

But leadership—real, grounded leadership—lives in the present. In this meeting. This decision. This conversation.

You can’t lead from a place of fear about what might happen. You lead best when you're present with what is.

As Ryan Holiday reminds us, most of the monsters we worry about never show up. And even if they do? We’ll deal with them when they arrive.

The challenge isn’t the imagined future. It’s staying present long enough to move through it—one clear, steady step at a time.

What helps you stay grounded when your mind starts racing ahead?
