The concept of time is somewhat amusing. It is constantly moving forward no matter if we like it or not.
Many a times, I have thought back on things that happened in my past and the things yet to happen. But even though I have done some things that could have been done in a different approach, I have come to realise that everything happens for a reason.
The mistake I have made and lessons I learned was what brought me to where I am today. And I am okay with it, so I do not need to return to change anything in my past. I would rather want to go to the future, if I could time travel. I want to know how my life would be like in the many years to come, especially in areas like my career and my relationships - what will I be doing, where I will I be, and who will be by my side?... things like that. I have most often than not, imagined getting married early, having a home and becoming a mother.
I lie awake at night wondering about these things. Will I be happy in my career?, Will I find someone who really loves me in the way I imagine? and Will I be the mother that I want to be? I am both anxious and excited about these thoughts. This is why it is so tempting to know what the future will hold. I want to know that all of the energy and time that I invest in myself have been worth it. I want to see the outcome of my dreams and goals do actually come to fruition.
In addition to giving me comfort, I think that knowing my future would give me courage. It would allow me to know the kind of path my life is following and also, create opportunities for improvement. I will see the mistakes I will likely make in advance and the misleading pathways that will eventually be pointless so I can adjust myself as I go through time. And possibly see those moments of joy and laughter, love and serenity, making me know that my life is exactly where I intend it to be.
But for me to make those decisions that would influence in my future, I need to stay focused on my present. Whatever decision I make now, the energy and everything that I dedicate all comes from my now and that is what will help define my future. Going to the future would help me realise that my future opportunities and outcomes depend on the decisions I make today. Therefore, my main focus would be looking ahead to see what possibilities are in my future if I could travel through time .
