A future to inhabit

What has been, has been. For all its flaws, regrets, lost opportunities, as well as for its many benefits, accept the past and move forward.

Perhaps it would seem desirable to change the past, but can you really be sure what that would gain you? And in any case, it’s not possible.

Fortunately, you can impact your own future. It’s something you’re able to do every day.

That’s much more preferable. Because the future is where you’ll live the rest of your life.

Rather than useless wishing about changing the past, you can act right now to create a future of your choosing. Instead of fighting against reality, you can put it to work for you.

Transform your thoughts about what could have been into actions that determine what will indeed be. You have a future to inhabit, and it’s as bright as you’re willing to make it.
