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 same way the wrong seed won’t give
you the right fruit. Here are 4 Things that Create Your
Future; Choices And Decision 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.[color=#990000][/color]
