Present v. Future

Nov 28, 2006 21:07

It seems we're all constantly worried about what's to come. So rather than focus on the now, we worry about the future and contemplate every "what if" that could possible occur. I've realized lately that I do this a lot. I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, it's good to look at what's to come and think about how to make the future better. However, I'm not sure it's healthy to really worry constantly about what might be. I've been worrying a lot about this spring and how I'm going to do what I want to do and not disappoint people...namely myself and Brandon. But maybe, just maybe, if I worry about the present and what I'm doing NOW, the future will work itself out. I haven't tried that approach before. There's no point in playing the "what if game" is there? You're going to do what you're going to do and everything happens for a reason. So why play games with yourself? "Live in the present while looking toward the future." I think someone famous said something along those lines. I'll have to look it up. But it's an interesting proposition. I think I'm going to try it. :-)

On another note, back to reality soon. Seems I got an extra long vacation...not exactly complaining, but it sucks missing classes I wouldn't normally miss....anywho...that is all...
