Focusing on the Future

The past has already gone and cannot be edited. You only have the present to prepare for the future. Constantly visiting the past may prevent you from accessing the future. No matter how long you dwell in the past and no matter how hard you try, you cannot erase history - the only thing you can do is to take actions today that will give you a positive future.

Whatever actions you take in the present (whether good or bad), just know that the consequences await you in the not-so-far future. This is the reason you should not be careless with your actions. Any seed you sow has a harvest awaiting for you later. You cannot sow cocoyam in your farm and expect to harvest yam (even though both of them has "yam" in them). In the same way the result of your actions is determined by the actions you take.

If you take a positive action, then you will be met with positive result. The same thing happens with negatives actions, the result cannot but be negative. The truth is, the major part of what you are experiencing in the present is a result of the actions you took in the past. Similarly, what you will experience in the future will be heavily dependent on the type of actions you are taking in the present.

When you are to take any action, first ask yourself if you will gladly welcome the consequences of the actions. If your answer is in the affirmative, then you can proceed with the action but if you are unsure if you can take the consequences of the actions, then you may think again and retrace your steps.

Any action that will not add to your future positively is not worth investing your energy on. Believe me, once an action has been taken, it may not be undone, you just have to wait for the result it will bring. So always have it in mind that the only thing within your ability to change is your action but not the result of the action.
