The Past, The Future and The Present

Just read a book called "The Present" by Spencer Johnson. He also wrote the book "Who Moved My Cheese?". A simple and easy to read book illustrating life truths through a story.

The Present is about being able to live in the moment, whilst learning lessons from the past but not living in the past, and planning for the future but living in the moment working towards the future. I.e. it's about the present.

Over the last 18 months I have been focusing on learning from the past in order to be able to live better in the present. What I have not given much consideration too is the future. What is it I want? It's as if I have been so driven in the past towards achieving this magic future, that I am now afraid to think about the future for I do not want to be driven.

I guess that where I need to LEARN from the past, in order not to repeat the past. I do not want to be driven. I want to be able to live in the present. So this is a challenge to me, maybe the next step on my journey. What do I want in the future? What would a wonderful future look like? Then plan for it, working in the moment towards that goal whilst living in the present.

At the moment, I have no future. I want to be.. but I also want to keep developing. So this is something I need to give some serious thought too...
