A little of both…but i think too much

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Sometimes, it is hard to think too much about the future because of fear.

Like everyone, I have dreams, dreams about the future, and what can be possible.

But thinking too much of the future sends a shiver of dread and excitement up and down my spine because I have no control over what I can not see.

Having no control is scary because things can happen without me being at the helm and without a helmet.

Yet it can be exciting because there are new and wonderful adventures to explore.

Dont get me wrong you need to make plans and it is great to make plans and modify them as time goes by with what works and what doesn’t work, but jumping ahead all the time makes me feel out of body. I need to live in the present and work on this moment in order to succeed and fulfill my future.


Likewise, I dwell on the past in order to improve my present and to learn what is the best way to my future.

All things aside, the present is what I have, so I need to enjoy it and try not to mess it up for the future.

The best way for me to do that is to have a good balance by giving  thanks in the  present for all that is past and to trust for all that is to come. 

Everything is about trust.
