Topic: Our Future In The Here And Now

Whether we realize it or not, each of us determines our future by what we do, think, feel, and believe in the here and now. You are doing today what you planned for yesterday. Even if you did not plan for anything yesterday, your lack of a plan resulted in what you are doing today. If you do not like what you are doing today, you could have planned yesterday to do something different today. In planning our future, each day is the product of the previous day's hope and your action or inaction on that hope. This connection between yesterday's hope and yesterday's action or inaction is why hope is so important in your life. What you hoped for and your actions in the yesterdays of your past determine where you are and what you are doing today and tomorrow. Someone caught up in hopelessness plans little and lives only from one day to the next. Each day of hopelessness is a day full of drudgery with little thought or planning about determining ones future. Each day of hopelessness is more of the same of what went on during days of hopelessness in the past. Eventually the grinding nature of a hopeless life kills the heart, soul, and spirit. However, you can choose to embrace hope in all you do, think, feel, and believe. For when you choose to embrace hope, you have chosen a way of life that need not have any end. You have chosen a life with hope, with plans, and with results.
