Many are quite curious about the future. They employ several means including going
diabolical all to know what the future holds for
them. Well, just like Robert F. Kennedy once said,
“The future is not a gift it is an achievement. Every
generation helps make its own future.” What
should that tell you? It simply means that the future is not given to you, it is created by you. In other
words, you create your own future. Your future is
not a mystery. It is predictable. You do not really
need a prophet or a fortune teller to tell you what
your future looks like. The “seeds” you are planting today are pointers to
the kind of future you will have. What you put in, is
what it will give to you. Some Christian folks may
say, “I have been promised a nice future, the bible
says so.” Yeah, I don’t argue that but the same bible
says “Whatever a man sows, he reaps.” The wrong path will never get you to the right destination. Here are 4 Things that Create Your Future Choices And Decisions You Make
or Fail to Make: On daily basis we have to make certain choices and
decisions. Most of these choices
and decisions are likely going to
have a long lasting impact on your
life which may either be positive or
negative. How well your future turns out is connected to the
choices and decisions you are
making now. In other words, the
way you will end up tomorrow is
influenced by the choices and
decisions you make today. The Actions You Take or Fail To
Take: Every action today is a seed
for tomorrow. Just like our choices
and decisions, our actions equally
have consequences which can
either be positive or negative and
may equally have a long lasting impact. Whatever we do or fail to
do today has a huge influence on
our future and determines how it
turns out. The relationships you keep or Fail
to keep: What we become is often
as a result of who we associate
with. Relationships too can either
be positive or negative. They can
either lift you or bring you down.
Someone once said that you will be the same person in five years as
you are today except for the
company you keep and the books
you read.
Relationships can make
or mar your future. The knowledge you acquire or fail
to acquire: It is said that
knowledge is power. How well we
know determines how well we
perform. We cannot perform any
better than we know. Knowledge is
a currency. You can buy the future with it if you acquire and
accurately apply it. The quality of
the knowledge you possess is a
pointer to the quality of the future
you will enjoy.
So what future are you creating by the decisions and choices you are
making today, by the actions you
are taking today, by the
relationships you are keeping today
and by the kind of knowledge you
are acquiring today? If it does not look like the future you will like to
have, there is still time for change.
No matter how far you have gone
on the wrong road, it is never too
late to re-trace your steps and take
the right turn. Make the change. It’s not yet late.
