We cannot change the past, but we can reshape the future

in life •  3 years ago 

You cannot exert any influence over the unknown. You have no say in the matter of the weather. It is impossible to regulate the height of a skyscraper. You have no influence over what the doctor decides to tell you. People are incapable of being controlled since they have free will. Because of this, we waste a significant amount of time worrying about things that are beyond our control. Instead, put your attention on the things you can accomplish in the here and now. It will make it easier for you to be present in the moment.

Your persona and the way you respond to the incident are completely original to you. Time, randomness, and the pursuit of one's own happiness have the upper hand. You have no say in the events that will take place to you, but you do have some say in how you will react to them when they do. You and other factors from the outside world have an influence on both the past and the present. However, the things that you can influence will occur regardless, therefore the distinction will be in the perspective that you take into the situation. It's possible that adjusting your mindset will help you deal more effectively with trying circumstances.

Focus your attention on the things you have command over rather than fretting about the things that might happen to you. You may, for instance, regulate how you react when confronted with difficult situations. You have control over both your attitude and your effort, which will allow you to respond more effectively to the challenges you face. You cannot change the outcomes of other people's lives, but you can impact both your own and the decisions made by others. You will be able to experience life to the fullest once you come to terms with the fact that you have no control over the future.

Even though we are unable to control the future, we may still make an effort to shape it. By intentionally controlling the path that our life takes, we have the ability to select how we will feel and how we will act. Our feelings and how we react to different experiences are under our control at all times. You can manage your thoughts with meditation if, for example, you're suffering from depression or anxiety. To put it another way, we have the power to affect not only the actions of other people but also the outcomes of our own lives. If we do this, we can relieve ourselves from the stress of worrying about the future.

Altering one's mentality is another important step in developing vital strategies to influence the future. We have the ability to make changes to the way we are now behaving and thinking. If we have faith that we have the ability to alter the past, we can make an effort to do so. If we take these steps, we will be able to make the future a better place. If we don't control the things we can control, we can still control the things we can control. To put it another way, each of us have the capacity to change aspects of our personality.

Create a mental picture of your ideal future as if it were already a reality. After that, you'll be able to create a present that isn't quite what you had in mind initially. In addition to this, you have the opportunity to change the way that we act. Your connections with others around you will get stronger if things go well in the future. If you can't control the past, you can at least exert some influence over the present. This is the single most effective way to alter the course of your life and free yourself from feelings of regret.
