A bright future, brighter than the stars and the sun should be what illumines before your eyes. Make a glory out of the present and make it one of your past glories. Live the present like what you have done in the past is not enough. Do not compare yourself or your success with that of others, for there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your older self.
At a time in my life, I discovered something. I discovered that I had made a lot of glories in the past, things I was always proud of and I lived in my past due to these glories that brought me joy. I also discovered something else; I was no longer moving forward in life, I was stuck in the past. I stopped making good use of the present, I always told stories of my past and boasted with it. After this discovery, I found out that I could not boast with my present. I found out that the person I am supposed to be is being held captive by the person I was in my past and this really hurt my soul.
It is very unfortunate that someone would let his past glory stop him from noticing opportunities for even better glories in the future. There are so many people like that in our world today, they are too proud of their past that they are satisfied with their achievements and have stopped putting efforts to creating new ones. They end up finding out that things change and no one loves to live in the past.
When I discovered what my past glory was doing to me, I said to myself “no, I have not achieved anything at all and anything I have achieved is but the achievement of the older me”. I decided to forget my past, both the good and all the bad in my past in order to stop boasting with the past and to have the desire to achieve something that I can use to boast in my future.
So let us forget the past, the present is right before our eyes with gifts of opportunity to brighten the future. Consciously live in the present and make good use of it.
I have decided to create more and better glories for myself, what about you? Do you still think that you past glories are the best you can do?

Hello.
What you said in your post is very true.
The present is unlike anything we experienced in the past and the future is not only weirder than we suppose, it is weirder than we can suppose. And the only way to make it there is to be open to possibilities and new realities because if we expect the future to be anything like the past, we would be stuck in the past, thereby missing the awesomest times to be alive.
