The Present And The Future Is All That Matters

The present and the future is all that matters. I have done many stupid things in my life. But thinking about the future gives me hope.

Do you think about your past and feel negative emotions like regret or embarrassment? Do you wish you focused on the present and the future more?

Then this blog post is for you.

When I was younger I did many stupid things which I would not do now.

I failed in class, dropped out of engineering college, felt a lot of entitlement when I was younger, etc.

And there are many smaller things I have done which make me feel embarrassed even today.

But those things don’t matter. Because they are irrelevant.

All that matters is the present and the future.

Because life is about self-discovery, not the past life.

Every day when I think about doing something I think about this in some way or the other.

I think that life is about self-discovery and that there are so many things I can discover about myself when I try new things.

There’s no point remembering the past.

I think maintaining a journal is helpful for this reason. Because writing helps you write the memories down and let it go in some way.

I write in a journal almost daily. And it’s fun.

I write what I feel in the present and what happened in the past and what I want in life in the future.

So yeah the past doesn’t matter. All that matters is the present and the future.

Forgive More: One Of The Most Important Skills

The author has been bad at forgiving most of his life. But he realizes that he should forgive more through therapy and life experiences.

I’m not really a pro if I have to forgive someone. I hold grudges for a long time.

But I know that forgiveness is important.

When I was in class 6 or 7, a classmate called me names and later also he said bad things about my mother.

I never forgave him.

He asked for forgiveness but in spite of that I didn’t forgive him.

But today when I reflect I realize that he deserves forgiveness. 

Mistakes are made by everyone, and they deserve forgiveness if they realize their mistakes.

And even now I hold grudges towards some people. But I need to forgive them.

I need to give them a second chance.

And as I go to therapy sessions I realize my weakness of being bad at forgiveness and that I need to forgive more.

So yeah I’m working on my forgiveness skills. 

Thank you for reading this line. It means a lot.
