“Create Your Future From Your Future”

Where you are right now is as a result of what you did yesterday. Where you will be tomorrow will come from what you are doing right now.

Most people try to create their future from what happened to them yesterday. You can only create your future from what you are doing right now. Your future depends on today, not yesterday.

The question is, What are you doing right now? How are you shaping your future? Are you using your time wisely? Are you meeting with the right people? Are you taking the right courses? Are you challenging yourself? Are you doing the same thing over and over again?

You will reap what you sow. You will reap what you plant. If you plant great seeds, you will reap great fruits. If you plant bad seeds, you will reap bad fruits.

Spend your time wisely. That means, do the most important things first. Do the last things last. Don’t try to do what you like to do. Do what will make you a better person. Do things that will make you a better father, brother, sister, friend, neighbor, student.

Don’t live in the past. Live in the moment. Don’t try to create your destiny from your mistakes, weaknesses, or failures. Create your future from the things you are doing right now. Werner Erhard said, “Create your future from your not from your past.” It is okay to think about the mistakes we made yesterday, but it not okay to live in the past. The more you do that, the more you will miss the opportunity to move forward in your life.

If you want to move forward, if you want to create a great future, a future that is worth celebrating, you must create it from the future. You must create it from what you are doing today, not from what you did yesterday.

Don’t Blame, Embrace

No matter what you are going through in life, don’t blame yourself, don’t beat yourself up. Don’t! Instead, embrace your life the way it is. You are the way you are for a reason. You are a unique human being. No one is like you, and no one will ever be. So, embrace it. Embrace the opportunity of being a unique human being, with distinct ways of doing your own things, and living your own life.

Blaming yourself for your past mistakes will not make today enjoyable for you. Instead, it will make you resent yourself; it will make you blame yourself even more. You have the power to change it. You are the only person who can change the way you live your life, the way you think, and the way you treat people. Nobody can do that for you, but you.

When you embrace your life the way it is, you will feel better about yourself. You will enjoy your life even more than before. It will open new doors of opportunities for you. It can also be a great way for you to do things in different ways. You can make your life the way you want it to be. Regrets will not help you become who you want to be, it prevents you from being who you want to be.

When you blame people for your situation, when you blame yourself for your situation, you are not helping yourself; you are preventing yourself from taking full responsibility for your actions. As I said before, you are the only person who can turn your life around- for good.

Blaming is an ineffective way of dealing with any situation, whether it’s negative or positive. Taking responsibility for your actions is the right way to deal with challenging situations. Blaming makes things worse, taking responsibility makes things better. Blaming makes you a victim. Taking responsibility for your actions makes you a victor.

If you want to be a victor, stop blaming and start taking responsibility.
