How to live future in the present



Living the future in the present, how to be happy with your dreams

Most of us have wishes, for instance you wish to attain a certain level of life, get certain things or position in the future. We have our admiration, our dreams and we keep telling ourselves that one day, we will reach such dreams; one day we will be what we want to become.You may also have dream for your organization - we call this VISION.

Why should you wait for the future to live your dream? What if you can find a way or ways of living your dreams in the present? In this post you will learn how to live in the present, the future you desire.

To be able to live your future in the present, pay attention to the following:

The present makes the future: 

You should consider that what you do in the present will determine the future. If you recognize that the present is part of the future, you will live the most of the present just like you would cherish the future you desire. With this understanding you will cherish the present as it is part of the future.

For example, if you want to become a successful happy business person in the 5 years to come, you should understand that the environment you are in today, the activities you do today are part of that milestone of being successful business person.

So, if you have to start small, if you are facing competition, if you face disappointments, all these are part of your future, because when you become successful, you will look back and tell people how what you are experiencing today gave you lesson, how all you face today made you strong, how they made you realize and shape your dream and strategies towards it.

Future is not more important than the present: 

The future you desire is just a milestone; it is just one of destinations of the journey you are taking in your life. Understanding the fact that you still have a life to live now, will make you more active for the future. With this understanding, you will realize that as you give importance to what you do today and by paying attention to what you have today, you will be living that future you desire. 

Let us go back to the first example; your dream is to become a successful happy person sometimes in the future. You should continue to take care of your health, take care of your family, and take care of your current connections while you build more. 
You shouldn’t ignore what you have now, you shouldn’t let the pursuit of a good future destroy your present, because what is the use any way of the creating a good future for yourself while you will be there to see it.

Get the big picture of life: 

Though it is good to have dreams, you should know that life is more than just achieving your dreams, it is more than reaching that future you desire. Have you found the purpose of living? Do you see yourself having contribution to your life in the world? 

Combining the big picture of life and the future you desire will make you realize that you can be living that future in the present, by valuing what you do now.

Your contribution in the world and your value doesn’t only depend on you achieving that future you desire; you should know that you are valuable even at the present life. 
Discover yourself, discover your passion, and discover your strength, live your potential now and that is to live the future in the present.
