Look towards tomorrow

NO FUTURE IN THE PAST

There is nothing rewarding, joyous, or profitable in looking back at the regrets, mistakes, and failures of the past, when the future holds unlimited, and unimaginable possibilities; when times ahead promises great potentials, a road to be graciously explored, and an awesome story to be written. There is so much in the future to enjoy, but we must keep that future alive by constantly looking forward, and moving towards it, without the pain of the past.

Oftentimes, we revisit the past, replay old conversations in our heads, rethinking our responses, the things we said, or wished we said, we think about the hopes that never came to pass, we look back at who we were, and who we could have become; but the truth is, all these are now gone and will never return again. Everything that happened or did not happen in the past has brought us to where we are today, but if we must move forward, if we must climb up to a higher ground we must now begin to look at the present and what we must do to make tomorrow what we want it to be.

The past is where it belongs, the present is here as an opportunity to shape the future we desire. We might miss some memories of the past, we might miss who we were, or what we enjoyed, but we have the present to create memories that will carry us through into the future. There is more that can be, if we live in the moment and make the best use of it. The past, is gone, don't waste the present thinking about it.

If the future we once imagined is lost, then we must forget about the expectations we had of it, and create new ones for tomorrow. There is hope for a life that still breathes, there is a future for the man who can still imagine, and a whole life for them that believes in their ability to reach their desired destination. The past does not contain the future, and the future is an illusion until we make it there, and bring it to life.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
