Do you always think your future to be great?

There are moments when I think of my future and felt sad because of some uncertainty and possible failures that may happened due to the present decision I've made. Though almost always I tried to be optimistic and look at it in a bright way. How about you, When you think about your future, do you felt happy,excited or sad and depressed?

I never imagine my future to be great because i will just expect more. But I am hoping and doing my best to have a better life ahead of me. I felt excite and sad at the same time because i am thinking what if I failed my self? but as long as I am just on my way now, I never loose hope.

What's important is you never lose hope. It's just natural that sometimes we felt sad about our future because of uncertainties but as long as we do your best and do what is right that would be enough. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I try not to think about the future only because anything can happen to me now that could drastically change whatever I thought my future was going to be like. For example, back in high school I thought I wanted to be an artist and as soon as I got to college I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian. I think we make so many changes every day that those changes, as small or big as they are, can drastically change who we'll be and what will happen to us; hence the reason I don't think about the future. Because as uncertain as it is, we definitely make it more uncertain by the way we live.

Yeah, you're right from any moment things will change in our life, no matter what we do. I think in your case, you are not quite sure of what you want, as most of us. That's why you often makes changes, thus makes your future more uncertain. If you will know what makes you happy, if you will know what you want to become, and what you want to achieve in the future then you will be happy looking forward the future each day of your life. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I like your answer xchyler, Everything still depends on God. He is the one who's in control of everything, all we have to do is do with best that we can. Is just like writing our name on the paper and giving it to him to filled whatever he want to put and write. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

keep optimistic - Most people realize of the truth that we should accept bad times with optimism, but it is easier said than done, especially when we get failures all the time.
To be honest, I am not an optimistic man indeed. Although people often say that it is beneficial to our work and life if one can keep optimistic. When I meet some unexpected situations, then I often tend to feel sad and face the difficulities with pessimistic attitude instead of keep optimistic. Most people realize of the truth that we should accept bad times with optimism, but it is easier said than done, especially when we get failures all the time. For the long run, we should believe in doing lots of things with gusto, which is helpful to enjoy a better life in the future.

You're right, most people advice us to be optimistic and be positive in our life and to always look at the brighter side in every unfortunate situation. We could say it's easier said than done since they're not on our shoes. But they are right! it could be hard to accept failures as gift and blessing in our life, but it's possible for us to be optimistic, it's our choice to look at things the way we want it to be. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

When I think of the future I hope it's happy. I take as many steps I can to make sure that it is. But I think that I am the only one in my family that does think this way. My husband, daughter and future son in law try to live day by day. If they plan more than one week ahead they wind up screwing up the plans and haveing to create a new one. I think the only thing being planned in advance right now is my daught and future son in law's wedding. With the wedding and our new move to Tennessee I think when we all look into our future we all see ourselves happy for some reason or another.

I am a true believer in my future to be great. It would be a rare site to see me believing otherwise. Of course I've had those moments at least once or twice. But I try not to think of the negative side and continue to believe that I will reach my goal. And everything is going to turn out great. That's just the way it's suppose to be. I'll hit a few rough bumps along the way but they won't stop me from getting to where I'm suppose to be in life.

Oh, that's great! It's nice to have a positive view of our future. All our problems and failures are just temporary setbacks and should not be taken seriously. It's part of our life, and we should always think that everything shall pass away so as our pain. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Oh Careguarden, everybody has their ups and downs...don't be sad jet. Because everything we do is directly related to human beings, yes, then nobody knows for certain what is inside another person's head and why our leaders do this and that. What we all can do is to plan and set short term goals, then do your best to achive it. If your goal is too far ahead in the future and too high, you will always be disappointed. When things look sad,, I take one step away from the situation and try to evaluate what's happening and can I make it better. If not, then I do turn away and start something I can finish. Disappointments are moments that God gives to you, to evaluate and get mature. So the next time you will be more equipped.

Hi, I'm new here, nice to meet you. When thinking about the future, I felt a little scared.The situation of employment is not very good since the economic recession took place in USA. I am major in economics in university and the prospect of global economy seems no to be optimistic. The motto given by my dad 'Just do it and everything will be ok' always cheer me up when I feel frustrated in my life. Work hard, life will give you a surprise in return.

Welcome to mylot Norah! I'm glad to read your comment. You're dad was indeed right, we just do what is right and what we can, and everything will be okay! Sometimes when we don't know where to start we just need to do the things we know. What's important is we did something, than nothing at all. That will make a difference in the future. Work hard and pray often. Anyway good luck on your study and happy mylotting. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, everything shall pass away. Like day and night, noise and silence. Nothings stay forever even our life. So as our problems and pain that we experienced right now. You're right, life is a cycle. What's important is we are happy, because that's all that matters in the end. Our future is uncertain and our present is the only thing that we have, that we can cherished and live. The real thing. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, we should not lose hope. We need to have hope each day. Thus it enable us to look forward and be happy each day. Losing hope means losing our life's meaning and purpose. As my friend said you should not pray to God for solutions of your problem but rather hope and strength to solve the problems. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!
