How do you live your life? Two steps ahead? or one step at a time? was it worth it? is it still?

In the past couple decades I used to live two steps ahead, and it helped me get ahead in the world. But as I got into middle age I found that I was living too guarded, not sharing enough of myself with the world, was wound up too tight, and that I needed to get back to my younger days and try out new things just for the sheer sake of change.
These days I live one step at a time. I more into diversion, novelty, being expansive and keeping things light and fun with the people around me, and laughing off the screw-ups, failures, and losses. I don't worry about what's going to happen in a year or even next week. I abide by the rules of the road and let the system work for me rather than trying to beat the system. Overall, this attitude seems to be working a lot better for me. I get along with people better, good things come my way easier, and I like my life better.
Naturally, it's easy to live one step at a time these days in my middle age now that I'm comfortably off. It would have been more of a stretch ten or twenty years ago when I was still trying to scratch out a place for myself in the world and get my piece of the pie. So I guess I did what I had to do.
I guess you do whatever works for you.

look ahead and dont worry about the last step u took. one step forward at a time, keeping in mind that u have a next step to take.
take it as it comes and try to make the best of it. think positive.

It's life, not treasure-hunting. We can't just say, I'd take three steps ahead then one step to the right, look for some stupid stone to dig under...
I am happy with every step I have taken, until now. And to answer you, it varies.

Do unto others as you would have done to you. I think we have forgotten that policy.
