Past, Present and Future

After a hard day at work, it's really difficult to sit down and write anything uplifting.

But that's exactly what I was planning on writing about, and how it helps in situations like this.

It's about past, present and future. It's about past influencing the future, and how the present binds everything together.

Even more than external events, facts, or luck, current attitude is what affects the future the most. Even if something bad happens, if we feel good about ourselves, we are more likely to have a good outcome that if we feel bad about ourselves. It's not about what actually happens that is important, but how we feel about it.

Memory binds it all together, and how we act upon it. If we feel good about our past, then we are more likely to perform actions that are positive. On the contrary, if we feel bad about our past, that's going to influence our actions negatively. But here is where the magic is.. That action we just did based on our memory of the past, it's already past, and it is part of what forms our "new" future. We keep on building memories upon memories of perceptions of reality.

And they do affect our future. What we do NOW, based on our PAST, creates our FUTURE. NOW is what binds the past and the future. If we act positively, then we will remember this action, and it is more likely to affect us in the future in a positive way.

So, we have a choice: Do we want to feel bad right NOW, or do we want to feel good? Our future, and our future past depends on it.

It's NOW that the magic happens. Not 10 minutes from now, but NOW. If we don't do something good now, 10 minutes from now will be different. We can't just wait for something to happen. We have to create it inside us, and the change WILL happen.

Life is about changes. If we don't change NOW, we are not living. Life is about motion, and about learning, and caring.

Care to do anything about it?
