How Much Future Have You Got?
I put this question to some
of my friends and what did I get as a reply?
Not one of them knew how much
future they have.
I also don't know how much
future is left for me
But have you noticed how
we go about our lives preparing for the future that we find no time to live in
the present?
Have you noticed how we beat ourselves daily struggling to make ends meet and to have a bright future?
Have you noticed how we cheat, drop friendships, walk out on relationships e.t.c. simply because we think they are not serving us now for a better future?
And yet none of us knows how much future we've got and some might not even know when the future has come!!
Yes it is expected that anyone who survives the childhood diseases attacks would expect to live to an old age BUT that is only an assumption because life usually happens and when it happens the future is gone.
And so, what if there is no future? or the future does not come? where will all the labours of today go to?
Now, this is not in any way to suggest that men should not work hard today while they have the energy and strength so to do in order to live easy in the future of old age but rather to suggest that in our pursuit of the things of the future, we should slow down to savour the aromas of today. And so we advise us to think globally but act locally meaning to work assiduously hard for the future but live in the now
Today is our only PRESENT and we have to make conscious effort to live in it.
Stop postponing your happiness, stop pushing your joy forwards, stop putting off that vacation to an exotic place, stop waiting for the best weather to start what can change your life, just STOP.
You have just one breath
And what happens to it on
daily basis is out of your control.
Make the most of your time here
Live every second
The future is here already
It is NOW

ReplyDeleteThe future is now therefore we should make the best use of it.
ReplyDeleteYes
Deletemaking the best of the moment, making each second to count, that's the way to go to a very productive life
1.What if there is no future ?
ReplyDeleteHow I would respond to the above question is as follows :
First of all, i'd say that mankind must have wasted so much time suffering, struggling,accumulating and preparing for a future that ended up being non-existent.
Secondly, life would be such a regret because I am sure many people are not even living in the present because everyone is so occupied with preserving and building for the future !
2. The tangential thing to be done to actually start living in the NOW and Present is to start enjoying life to the fullest and stop excessive accumulation of resources for the future.
To decode the saying "Think globally,act locally" with respect to any other life issue that is convenient for me :
As a medical doctor, I will continue to work hard to attend well to patients while keeping abreast with INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES and for for future relevance but also create time to know about and get involved with things that happen in my immediate environment and locality while enjoying myself at the same time.

ReplyDelete1. If there is no future, I am happy to have lived in the now, because no one knows if ever there is a future, we all plan for it, leaving what we should do today till the next two hours (the future). All I do in life is live and act ensuring I properly live out my best in the now, then if the future comes, let it be an unfolding of events that started now.
2. Shun procrastination. That you must do to properly secure your "now", do it and leave the rest to unfold with the times.
3. I'll take a line from the convener's common quotes.. It is not to think out of the box...Break the box because you can't be in the box and think properly.
Dare to be different. As a business person, never be satisfied with the usual way business is run. You can also strategize in different ways to also achieve better success in business.

ReplyDelete1. My response to this question will be that, "THE FUTURE IS HERE AND NOW IT IS". When you said in the next 5 yrs time in 2016..... , now you're here in 2021; is this not the future you had craved for, in 2016?
The summary of my submission (or postulation?) is that the now, the present was one time ago our future. We should live our now as if there will be no tomorrow or future.
2. I think I've answered this above. That is, "WE SHOULD LIVE OUR NOW AS IF THERE WILL BE NO TOMORROW". What can or should be done now, today, should not be postponed to tomorrow, the future. ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY AND DON'T SHIFT IT TO TOMORROW BECAUSE IT MAY NOT BE YOURS.
3. To think globally, act locally for me is, "WORK HARD WHEN YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO SO TO PREPARE FOR A TIME YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH (thinking globally). And, ENJOY YOURSELF WITH ALL THE FUN YOU CAN GET TODAY AND NOW AS IF IT WILL BE YOUR LAST DAY OR TIME ON EARTH (thinking locally).
