Present - work on it, to build the future

09/27/2010

Don't be content merely to dream about the future; do your best to build it here and now on solid foundations. It is 'now' that counts. The future is an extension of the present, and the present is nothing other than a consequence, a result of the past. Everything is connected: past, present and future are not separate. The future will be built on the foundations you lay today. If these foundations are faulty, there is clearly no point in expecting an exceptional future, but if they are good there is no need to be anxious. The roots determine how the trunk, branches and fruit will be. The past is gone, but it gave birth to the present, and the present provides the roots for the future. So, you are building your future here and now by seeking to improve the present.
