Is it possible to set goals for the future and be present at the same time? The future is not always tenable and capricious. Additionaly, if one is in the moment one shouldn’t be thinking about the future. To me, this seems like the two are mutually exclusive: to make goals and to be present.

Therefore, is it actually possible to be present but to think about the future at the same time? How does one reconcile having goals or making plans for the future?

It seems difficult to not plan for having children, planning a career, etc.
Consider following texts:

Majjhima Nikaya (3.272)


  ‘The past should not be followed after, and the future not desired;
  what is past is dead and gone, and the future is yet to come.’


Wei Wu Wei ('Why Lazarus Laughed'):


  ‘Past and Future are a duality of which Present is the reality. The
  now-moment alone is eternal and real.’


Matthew Flickstein (* The Meditator’s Atlas. A Roadmap of the Inner World p. 157*:


  ‘The greatest enemy to the conditioned mind is the reality of the
  present moment. The mind is always trying to oppose this experience,
  since the mind only lives through thoughts of the past and the
  future.’


and Thich Nhat Hanh' ('Thich Nhat Hanh on the Practice of Mindfulness'):


  ‘Most people are forgetful; they are not really there [in the present
  moment] a lot of the time. Their mind is caught in their worries,
  their fears, their anger, and their regrets, and they are not mindful
  of being there. That state of being is called forgetfulness -you are
  there but you are not there. You are caught in the past or in the
  future. You are not there in the present moment, living your life
  deeply. That is forgetfulness.
  
  The opposite of forgetfulness is mindfulness. Mindfulness is when you
  are truly there, mind and body together. You breathe in and out
  mindfully, you bring your mind back to your body, and you are there.
  When your mind is there with your body, you are established in the
  present moment. Then you can recognize the many conditions of
  happiness that are in you and around you, and happiness just comes
  naturally.
  
  (...) Mindfulness is the energy that helps us recognize the conditions
  of happiness that are already present in our lives. You don’t have to
  wait ten years to experience this happiness. It is present in every
  moment of your daily life. There are those of us who are alive but
  don’t know it. But when you breathe in, and you are aware of your
  in-breath, you touch the miracle of being alive. That is why
  mindfulness is a source of happiness and joy.’
