How Your Future Defines You. by dev4wealth(m): 9:02am On Dec 08, 2009 |
The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. A brief candle; both ends burning An endless mile; a bus wheel turning A friend to share the lonesome times A handshake and a sip of wine So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last. Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging of the future but by the past. My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny. In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these. The future has a way of arriving unannounced. http://develop4success..com |
