Some of the things we need to see is that tomorrow turns into today and yesterday eventually. Yesterday we were looking at today as our tomorrow and what we were anxious or happy about is now here, was our worries or concerns valid? Did what we thought about come to pass or was it blown out of proportion or are we disappointed?
Everybody has a way to see things that are not here yet. What causes our way of looking at things to be that certain way? How did we become the way we are when it relates to how we deal with the unknown of tomorrow? Our confidence or lack there of, fear, or strength, what do we have and if we don't like it how do we change it?
These things I think about, because I don't like how I look at things when it comes to my tomorrows. Not always anyway. I want to change how I deal with it. I know people can change if they want to, and I know I have changed over time because I wanted to. So when I look at tomorrow and the unknown what do I see? How am I going to prepare myself to handle what will be today when I look out into the future? Am I going to be ready to handle what I think is coming?
I think something that affects how I see tomorrow is what has happened in my yesterdays. Think about it, how did you and I handle those days of the past? What influenced our actions then and how does it affect how we are looking at our tomorrows? Do we like what we are looking at? If not then how are we going to change it so that we feel better about tomorrow?
Are we going to stay where we are at or are we going to change and not let yesterday influence our tomorrow when it comes to being happy and having joy. Enjoying the strength of having a control over the unknown in our lives is a goal I have. I know we cannot necessarily change what will happen tomorrow but we can change how we react and handle tomorrow.
For instance, meeting new people, new job, moving, starting over after a divorce or break up of a long relationship, all these things and others is what we face. What do we do when facing those things?
That is the question I want to stir you to think about, just facing tomorrow is not enough, we need to examine why we feel the way we do in order to get out of the habit we developed over time and break it into something better.
I am all for better, being happy and looking forward to tomorrow rather than being anxious about tomorrow.
I choose to change and try to make things better especially when I have a choice. What will you do?
Feedback would be nice if you read this.
I think people need to stop worrying about what tomorrow will be like just let it happen. Things happen to us for a reason, different people come into our lifes for different reason some of them will stay, somewill leave us, some will make us happy some will hurt us but they all have a purpose for finding us...
ReplyDeleteI agree. But what happens is people get tied up with the what ifs in life and it bogs them down from enjoying today. Life can be full of suprises and joys if we choose to see them and accept them.
ReplyDeleteI think that all this thinking about past and future is just a way to not live today for what it is and own what you are doing right here and now. Change doesn't come about by studying it.
ReplyDeleteHow is change going to happen unless you look at what needs changing? To see that is to look at what has happened and change how it will happen in the future.But I would have to say that those who refuse to look at history will repeat it. So if we don't at least acknowledge what we have gone through, how are we going to change for the better. Then again if your life is exactly the way you want it then why look back to see where you can improve.
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view and experience nothing changes by doing the same thing time and again and expecting a different outcome. In order to change one has to see what is not right or not wanted anymore in order to make corrections to attitudes, actions, and behaviors.
There is nothing wrong living in the moment, that makes things exciting, but to stay that way in all things I believe will not get you where you would like to go as far as goals. I cannot see how you can reach a goal without planning for it.
But if you continue to look at your past you will loose the present and even what might be your future...
