Looking Forward to...

Posted on Sep 18th, 2008 by Holly
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 05, 2008:



I used to allow the past to dominate my life, years ago. Now it's pretty easy for me to let things go.
Recently, I've actually been focusing on the here and now because I've been too busy to think about anything else.
But I definitely look to and focus on the future more than anything. I should probably resort to Buddhism and focus only on the present moment at all times. The future scares me. It's so uncertain. If I can't afford college, I see a bleak, or at the best a very difficult future. But it motivates me to do all that I can and more to try to make sure my future is the best it can be. I look forward to all the wonderful things that can happen, and that are already happening. I'm trying hard to appreciate how lucky I am right now and not worry so much about tomorrow. I try to envision a future where I am a Social Worker, helping people.

Greetings,
Im sure you find a certain warmth by focusing on the here and now - which is most fantastic - perhaps there is a ray of sunshine that you need to follow for the future…dont just envision the future - be it…. its most fantastic when we think like this… i too am on a similar path - and coincidentally Buddhism is also a common thread.
Be well - take care
