The future belongs to and favours those who have prepared for it. Today is the best time to start to prepare for the future you desire. In plain terms, the future is a reward for your actions of today, so choose your actions wisely.
No one can escape the result of the future he has planned today. This means that your action of today is like a plan that you make for your future. This is why it has been said times and again that what you do today will tell, to a great extent, how your future will look like.
Even though everyone is taught to live for the future, you still need to draw inspirations and lessons from the past, because it will make you better in the future.
Today is yesterday's future. In the same way, tomorrow is today's future, so you do not have to wait till tomorrow to perform the action you are meant to perform today. You may not have the opportunity to alter your past but the future is still within your power to determine, and it rests on your actions of today.
The past has only one major purpose - to serve as an instructional material for a better future. If your past experience does not teach you lessons for today's actions and tomorrow's result, then your past was almost futile.
The connection that the past has with the future is the present. This means that your past (whether bad or good) will only affect your future through the actions of today. Your past may not be good but if you tilt towards good in the present, then you are in for a good future. In the same way, even if you had a good past and you suddenly change to bad in the present, then you have already derailed from a good future - the choice is yours.
Thanks for reading
My dear Sammi, what a most stunning piece of writing. I mean, all your texts are excellent, but this one is just simply incredible. My favorite so far. It speaks to me because it touches very much on what I work with: the understanding and acceptance of the past in the present moment in order to prepare for a fruitful future.
People just desire their wounds to disappear, get stuck in that desire and ... nothing else happens. Then, they think it's because of that past wound and rumminate and obsesses about it (instead of moving on) ... oh! some of us get stuck in this pattern for months and years!
That opening line couldn't be more beautiful and touching! It's already on my notepad ;)
Much love Sammi, from rainy and cold Portugal :*

My dear Abbey, I'm so honoured by your wonderful comment.
I normally tell people that they need to make peace with their past so that it will not haunt their future, but they also need to draw lessons from their past so as to have a better future.
Thanks for coming around Abbey. Much love to you from harmattan Naija
