The key to the future

The key to the future

"The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination."

-- John Schaar

We’ve been taught to look forward to our future. Somehow, we believe, things will be better then. But the future is not available to be lived – we can only live NOW. So what are we doing to live best right now? What are we doing now that will bear fruit when we reach some future now?

"Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.”

-- Roger Babson

The key to the future is to live in the NOW. If we don't create a sustainable lifestyle and environment in the now, there is no point debating the future. The future is present every day because what we do now is creating it. If we are worrying about the future, then that is what we are creating - negativity and fear. Is that really what we want to live?
