Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

As a kid, some years back, one of the words of motivation that rings on my head is that "we are the leaders of tomorrow" and "our future is bright". At that time we do not understand what these sayings really mean - we think the future that is being said here is so many years to come not knowing that the future starts from now.

The things we do today as individuals is the foundation of our future. We create the future we want for ourself with the types of things we do now, in other words, you can predict the type of future you'd have from today. It is impossible to plant corn and harvest plantain, the same way that it is not possible to live a carefree life today and expect to be a great person tomorrow. The future that we look forward to is the result of the actions that we take today. This is to say that our future starts now.

We do not possess the power to know what our future looks like but we can get a clue with the actions we take now. What we do today and what we decide to stop doing today will tell the kind of future that we should be expecting. Therfore, as an architect of your life, create today that which you want to become tomorrow.

We are quick to trade blames when we do not get the results we anticipated. We question the reason for our existence and some of the decisions that we have in the past. The simple meaning of this is that we have failed to focus on the things that will propel us to the kind of (future) life we have always wanted rather we are doing something different entirely.

“The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe

One major problem is that we think our future is far away, but this is not true. The moment we know that our future starts from today, we'd channel our actions to doing the right things, else we'd end up with the kind of future that doesn't befit us. The understanding of the future will make us know that we should start anything we want to do today, not tomorrow, or the next day after.

Mahatma Gandhi, rightly said that "the future depends on what you do today.” Most people are fond of leaving the activities that should be done today till tomorrow and in that case, you are gradually designing your future. If you want to achieve all your dreams for the future, there are some things that needs to be done in your present, that is, today. It might not be an easy journey, but you have to endure so that you can get your desired results. There are two options that we can decide to choose from to know what the future holds - doing our best to create the kind of future we want through our actions or folding our arms doing nothing.

Do you want to become a medical doctor, lawyer, engineer, fashion designer, etc? Then you need to start making research about your chosen field today. You need to do certain things today that will draw you closer to your dreams of the future. Do not wait till tomorrow, start today. Mother Teresa once said “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” In life, we are the author of our story, we write how our ending will be from the actions that we take at the beginning.

Your future starts now. Make sure you do the right things today and your future will be bright.

Thank you for your time lovelies.
