A glimpse of the future ...

... in those who seek to learn and to understand.

A big change in the distant future, requires but a small change in the present.

The past is the foundation for the future.

As is the present. Strengthen the future, by strengthening what we have now.

What is one's life's work - what are we called to do, ...

... well into the night, and in the early morning hours. For the satisfaction of shaping a part of the future.

While waiting for inspiration to work out the big questions ...

... do the things that one would feel happy to have done over the year, especially at the start of the next new year. The present will soon be the past. To feel happy about the past work on making the present better.

Preparing to face the future is important, as is preparing to face the past.

What gives me the goosebumps - and what does it tell me about myself?

Seek the words that move us. Words about the human condition. Which speak personally to me, across time and distance. Words about myself. And about you. Words which catch in our throats, tears which sting the eyes in shared sorrow. And hope. For a better tomorrow.

Search the past and the present for ...

...the wonderful words, the deep ideas, and the simple joys, each phase of our lives once experienced or still holds. Use it as one of the guides for the unfolding the future. Our common future.

We have a past, we have a future

Who hasn't looked back wondering about the paths not taken or the ones which didn't lead where we intended. Some of the things that shouldn't have happened but did nevertheless. Did someone write us off, are we in turn discounting what someone else has offered or given the chance is yet to offer. Look to the future where wonderful things are possible for others some of them through our efforts.

The present is always here with us.

Our past is always behind us. Our future always ahead of us. Undoubtedly, past actions and future plans affect the present, both with or without our consent. Determining the extent to which our consent whether it be deliberate or tacit is granted, may have a lot to do with where we choose to setup camp.

A sense of urgency. A sense of unruffled tranquility.

Ours in but a page in history. As it was for the dinosaurs. Are we the dinosaurs of this age, and if so what events lie ahead which will dramatically alter our world as it did theirs. Knowing that we have but a few years, for what is a lifetime such as ours anything but brief on a cosmic scale, how would we choose to spend it. What part of our life's work would we regret not having begun, let alone nutured. So buckle on the tool-belt. Take off the safeties. Pack your bags to make the trip of a lifetime - into your dreams. Let it define your life's work.

To turn the page

The facts and actions about what has occurred cannot be disputed. It happened. How does one look back and feel a sense of gratefulness for what happened, especially about those rough spots, the skids, the beat-up condition in which you traveled the winding backroads through treacherous terrain. Don't stop looking and reflecting until you find the special answer which only your heart knows is the right one for you. It is the answer which will make it possible for you to look back with feeling of gratitude about the misfortunes, mishaps that were part of the journey earlier on. The answer which will make the detours earlier on feel like they were scenic byways.
