Embrace your future today

Waking up to a rest day is not a problem; the problem starts when nothing is done about it. Although the day will come and go, it must be remembered that there is still a future ahead.

When we start a day, we must set goals for the day and live to meet each goal. By the time we lay our heads down to sleep, our checklist should confirm that everything has been accomplished. Failure to do so is the best recipe for disaster in the future; near or distant.

Each day should be lived to the fullest as if it were the deadline. When we work towards a deadline, we all strive to perfect everything to end up with an interesting result.

A wise saying goes: “Work like a slave today to live like a king today.” In simple words, every future is prepared in the present moment. No matter what you have or don’t have, your effort is what counts for a better future. Therefore, we must embrace our future today to enrich it with the best of possibilities.

Self-actualization is the master key to embracing your future. You can’t determine who you want to be in the future if you don’t know who you are. Life is a curve and each instantaneous point is important to complete the graph, especially the beginning. If the beginning is messy, the rest will be difficult to track accurately. However, if one starts in the right place and time (which is the present), the rest will be a walk in the park.

After knowing oneself, one can be sure of being able to choose any path to take in life. As much as life is a free will, we still need self-control to choose the right path. Self-control is a feeling that will tell you that this is in line with who you are or not. It will lead you to make reasonable decisions instead of grabbing whatever life throws at you. It doesn’t work that way, we need to determine our future through our actions.

But, how to embrace the future before living it? This is a possible question in the mind of man. Hugging can refer to present things but for the future it is still applicable. If we cannot embrace it today, tomorrow we will see it happen sooner and we will not be able to contain it. It will come with difficulties that we cannot contain even a fraction.

Therefore, everyone must work in the present for the best of the future. Procrastination is what ends time, as is well known. By the time we delay our efforts today, we will be preparing for a possible failed future.
