This is quite a deep question. But I want to know, how often do you think about the future, and what sort of things do you think about. Thinking about the future can bring a positive feeling, like that feeling of hoping that one day you'll be rich, or one day you'll be successful, or one day you'll get married and be happy. And you'll live the present with the awareness that you want to eventually achieve that. It's a great state of emotion to have. But there are those that brings negative feelings, such as thinking that one day your children will move out of the house, or one day your children will be adults and you can't reverse time to see how they were when they were little, or one day your parents will be old and things won't be same again. What sort of things you think about, when you think about your future?

What sort of things do you worry about? Are they positive or negative things? When do you usually think about the future, during the day? It's true we should be confident about our future. We can shape our future, yes there are other things involved such as luck, but if we take enough actions in the present to achieve what we want in the future, despite any form of obstacles, it will happen. Just read success stories, of extremely successful people. Most of them agreed that, what they have now, they desired it, and wanted it, 10 years ago, or further back. They already had that vision. That's something that can't happen if all we do is enjoy the present.

Great, those are great attributes to have. It's a good habit to have a vision for the future, and plan to get there. It's also important to not worry about it, like you said, because worrying puts us in a negative emotional state. It's best to look forward to the future, with a positive emotional state. That way, we'll always feel good about life. Wish you best of success in whatever it is you are striving to achieve. All the best for your future.

We always think what will happen in our future. We know what our future its because you can overview it on what you are right know. For example you earn many money in mylot, You can invest in business and in the future you will see that you can be successful because you have a secured income

I think we can also view the future in our dreams. For example we dream to have many business in the future and have 10 cars. We all know that our dreams for the future start with dream but if we work on it and give it a try, we don't know that dream is a successful dream. I have many dreams and thought in the future and i always make way to give a try and invest to it. We can achieve on what we want and just like i said we can predict the future on what we are right know.
