No crystal ball will give you the answers. Our destiny is not written in the stars and it will not be fate to tell us what the path to take will be. Don't expect a stroke of luck that will change your life when you least expect it if you live closed in on yourself. The future cannot be predicted, the only thing that can be done is to create a wonderful one for you and your loved ones.
But remember you don't build a bright and hopeful future in one day. Not even God was able to create the world in a few hours, despite all the power that religion attributes to him. Think about it: do not delay any longer and start making your own, because tomorrow may be too late.
The opportunities of the future
The future is always uncertain. It presents itself full of opportunities, but these are not necessarily positive. Anything can happen. However, we decide which side the scales should tip. In this sense, the power to shape the future in our image and likeness is in our hands.
"The future has many names: for the weak it is unattainable, for the fearful it is unknown, for the fearless it is opportunity."
-Victor Hugo-
People who look to the future are divided into two types. On the one hand there are those who remain helpless like a puppet in the hands of destiny and blame their misfortunes on bad luck. On the other hand, there are those who do not complain, but take the situation head on and look forward with hope and strength, determined to change what they do not like.
The puppets in the hands of fate are easily recognized. They are people who constantly complain about their bad luck and how much they suffer in life. They let themselves be carried away by what the masses do, without becoming aware of it, without setting goals that go beyond words.
On the other hand, there is a small group of people, much smaller than the previous one, who love to create their own future. People who enjoy the present, who set goals, who do not lose hope and work hard every day. They are the architects of their future.
Close the doors and look ahead
If things haven't turned out for you in life, the last thing you need to do is get stuck in a permanent half-sleep, complaining about your misfortunes. In this case, you would leave one door open, which will prevent the next one from opening. Think about it, because if this is what you want in life, you will never be truly happy.
"Only by closing the doors behind us will the windows open to the future."
-Françoise Sagan-
Today it is not easy to shape our future, but we have an infinite number of tools at our disposal that allow us to work on hope, on the achievement of our goals and on the achievement of our dreams. The problem is that we often don't believe in them enough, and the lack of conviction doesn't allow us to grasp them decisively and courageously.
- A great way to create our future is to close the doors of the past. People who only transmit negativity to us, that work in which no one values ​​us, that relationship that makes us unhappy and complicates our life ... Close the door in the face of what binds you to the past, only in this way can you look to the future.
- On the other hand, it is essential to believe in yourself and in your dreams. If you think your wishes are stupid, unrealizable or impossible to fulfill, you can be sure they will never come true. But if you consider them goals to be achieved in life, planning intermediate goals and proceeding towards them with confidence and honesty, nothing can stop you.
Finally, we propose you to carve out moments of profound reflection. Look inside yourself, deep in your heart. Be honest with yourself and start taking a few minutes for yourself every day.
During these minutes, free your soul from everything that makes you unhappy and binds you to the past, and put into practice the tools that will help you achieve your dreams. Be strong, decisive, courageous and persevering. We look forward to seeing you in the future!
