Resist the temptation, Laurel, to base today's decisions upon today's facts and circumstances, which are little more than what remains of yesterday's decisions.
Instead, base them upon the facts and circumstances as they will inevitably be once your dreams have already come true, once you're already deep in friends, laughter, health and harmony, and once having your own new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop "ain't no big 'thang,' honey."
Ready? Go...
The Universe
Laurel, you're so hip.
