Only we have the power to create our future. Whilst it is sometimes dependent on many external factors which we often can't control, with some self-determination we can create the future we desire.
4 Reflection
Reflecting on our past is important, and although it may be tempting to try and forget much of what has been and gone, we can in fact use the past experiences to help us move forward. There is a thin line between reflection and obsession though.
5 Letting Go
Letting go of the past is essential. as it is unhealthy to harp on about what has been and gone. We can't change the past, no matter how much we wish we could fly around the world like Superman in an attempt to turn back the clock. It's time to seize the day, let go of the past, look to the future and enjoy the present!
6 Ignorance is Bliss
Whilst many of us wish we could see into the future, I often wonder whether I would really want to know what my future held. Sometimes, we can become just as obsessed with the future as we are with our past, which can be equally as unhealthy. This is why it's so important to live in the present, enjoying and embracing every moment.
7 Time Flies
Remember when you were younger and you wished you were older so that you could go out on your own, drive, drink (not at the same time!) or have a boyfriend? Remember how that time came around sooner than you would have liked, and before you knew it, you were driving your own car? I know it's a cliché but sometimes time literally flies, so don't worry or obsess about the future. Instead, make memories today.
