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
