If you want, you can go downtown right now and get a great parking spot and leave your car there for the next four months so that on New Years Eve you’ve got the absolute perfect exit strategy.
It’s going to make the next four months pretty tough on you. Walking to work or paying for Ubers or wearing out your friends for favors. But come NYE, you’ll be the talk of the party.
But we know that while you could get the perfect spot tomorrow…if you decide wait till the day of, you won’t get the perfect spot but you’ll get one that will be fine. And in turn the next four months are smooth sailing.
Sometimes we rush. We get ahead of ourselves. We live too far in anticipation instead of reality, all under the guise of being prepared.
No need to get ahead of yourself. One step at a time.
So yes, there’s nothing wrong with sacrificing the next four months to get the perfect parking spot in downtown Nashville for New Years Eve.
(But what if you end up celebrating in Cleveland?)
