Future

where are you? where do you want to be? how are you gonna get there? Those are the questions that have been floating around my sea of thoughts lately. After an impromptu session of motivational speaking to a friend, I was forced to revisit some of these thoughts and find their true essence.

See, life is a culmination of the past present and future..sounds obvious right? yeah it is. But whats hidden is the realization of our constant movement between these three realms. When we think of the past we are in the present, and constantly making additional 'past'. We think of the future and we constantly near that which we think of. This makes the present seem very ephemeral doesnt it?

We all want great and bright futures for ourselves. We all know what we want. We all want some kind of comfortable, hassle free existence in the future; but little do we know that the 'when' we think of is constantly approaching, but the 'what' we think of simply remains a fantasy. We are constantly growing old, but are we approaching the future we desire?

So how do you get to this place that you want to go? how do you achieve that successful life you have always dreamt of? how do you get into the future and look into the past with pride and smile at all the obstacles you have surmounted?

Its all about that futuristic mindset you know...do you want to make it happen, do you want to let it happen, or do you want to wonder what happened? Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare and plan for it today. Take every step knowing all other steps you will take depends on that which you just took.

Remember...the future is always beginning now!
