Strange thing about human beings is that we spend our lifetime to have a perfect future. And we are never sure about it: not whether we will have a perfect future or not, but whether we,at all, will have a future or not. In doing so, we spoil what is in our hand-our present. Present is called so because it is like a gift to us by God & we behave strangely by not opening this gift so that we have it safe for our future. Our present is what we thought in our past & our future will be what we are thinking today. Our future will be rolled out in front of us depending upon how we respond to our present. If we are living a tense life today, chances are that we will have a difficult future. Life cannot be lived in past or in future; it can either be lived now or never.
When people say that they don't have any control over their future they are only partially correct. They don't have any control as far as circumstances are concerned but they have complete control over how they would react to those circumstances & that will be decided today not tomorrow. Our responses to different circumstances may be different but the style of our response is more or less same. And that style comes from out thinking pattern of today. So, in a way you have complete control over your future as well. People who want to be successful after some time will surely not have the same circumstances what they have today but despite the difference in situations they will become successful if they learn to respond to their present because one day their future will become their present.
So, instead of brooding over tomorrow, better you live in now. That is all we have: rest is a mirage. The only way we can have a perfect future is to live in present. Another beautiful thing about our future is that it comes only one day at a time & that day is today.
Remember, you can never make your future perfect by making your present tense !
