Write the future...

Many people spend a lot of time on their history. Some do it purposefully with such hobbies as journaling, while others simply write and rewrite their history over and over in their minds. Depending upon the way we go about this, this can be good or bad. If we are doing it so we can reflect back on our life, which is good. If we are doing it so we can learn from our past, which is good too. Unfortunately, many people do it simply as a subconscious act of running themselves into the ground over and over. What we write in our mind is an act of mental discipline, just as what we write on a sheet of paper is a discipline. We must keep that in mind. So if this is true that we can make a choice as to what we want to write, both literally and figuratively, we have an extraordinary opportunity. Instead of going over and over our past, we can choose to write our future. Have we ever thought about writing our future before it even happens to us? Well now we can and we will. We must choose to choose our own future. If we do not make the decision to accept our own future then we are choosing to not write our future. We must choose to choose. We must determine what we want our future to be very specific. We should get a good understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. If we are going to write our future, we will have to have a sober understanding of what we are good at and what we are not particularly good at. We must be sure that what we are doing is utilising our strengths to their fullest. We can write our future just the way we want it to happen. Yes, ups and downs will come but we will outlast them and eventually we can arrive at our destiny. Then, when we get to the end of our life, we will know how it all turns out because we will have been the authors.
