Weekly Wisdom – Do You Live In The Future?
When we were kids, we would make statements like, “When I grow up…” As we got older, it was “When I turn (insert age).” It was all based in the future.
That is all future based thinking. When you are younger, you expect to have a long life ahead of you & really have no true idea about regret or its impact.
As you turn 40 & older, the outlook on life changes. Hopefully you are wiser & have more insight.
Sadly, it becomes more frequent that people you went to school with are getting diseases & even dying.
Tomorrow is NEVER guaranteed. The one guarantee that no one can escape is that one day we all die.
We simply try to fill our days on this planet with things that we find meaningful. What some may call a full or fulfilled life.
So, saying that “I will start on that tomorrow” is actually fine. That is planning & not really living future based.
But, if tomorrow turns into next week & next week turns into next month then it will turn into someday which will actually be never. That is living future based.
Those who live future based invariably live with regret. When people are on their death bed & they talk about regret, most talk about what they wished they would have done, not the things they did.
Live in the present guys. If your spouse is leaving to run an errand, tell them you love them now. Because if something happens like an accident & they do not return, you will live with regret.
