You may not have a fairy godmother, but you do have a vision for your future. You cannot control every turn of events in your life, but you can control the goals that you set for yourself. When you set goals for yourself, you have a direction to move in. When you have no direction, your life becomes unpredictable. Setting and achieving goals in life is one of the ways to ensure that you will have a happy future. There are many types of goals that you can set for yourself. They can be small ones, such as what you hope to accomplish in a day or week, or they can be major lifetime choices, such as where you hope to live, what you hope to have for a career, and what you hope to do in your free time.
It is easy to think that there is a grand plan in the universe or, as we say, "que será, será," whatever will be, will be. But careful consideration should tell us that we, as thinking beings—the only ones, to our knowledge, in the universe capable of making decisions—must have the power to predict our future or, at least with some confidence, determine our future prospects. On the physical plane, we have the ability to destroy the environment and end the human race, or at least a large fraction of it.
Here, the future predicted by those who foresee doom and gloom may actually occur, but that is a grand exception, true but not a universal rule you should live by. On our personal plane, we can certainly live up to the rather dismal statistics of people killing themselves through neglect, drugs, alcoholic beverages, or a myriad of other addictions. But as individual thinkers, each with the ability to reason, we can also look either way down the road of future life. Our end is predetermined, for none of us is immortal. However, our future, up to that end, can and does depend on today’s choices. We are the determinants of the world of today and of tomorrow. Since we have the power to act, whatever our future will be will depend, to a large extent, on today’s choices. The best way to assure the quality of our future is to live fully in the present and permit no one to close our options by fooling us into believing that we are only pawns of a larger game.
Even if by now you don’t consider yourself a forward-thinking kind of person, it’s important that from now on you think about your near and distant future. But not in the way that most people think of their future, which is to wait for things to happen. This is reacting, not creating. Look at this: someone wants to get a degree; they devise a plan for the future that lasts three, four, or five years. The problem is that most of that future, all the decision-making, planning, and actions that will make the future that person wants will happen before classes finish. And yet, when they arrive at the classroom door, they expect some sort of educational guardian angel to meet them and take care that everything is all right. You can never be the person you want to be if you have the mentality of a child sitting on the bench outside a window, waiting for someone to invite you in and remove any hint of suffering or effort from your future life. You can’t avoid some sort of suffering and effort if you want to learn and become who you are meant to be.
Let me tell you a little secret. Your future will be whatever you prepare for it. Someone who doesn’t prepare their class, for instance, will be the unlucky recipient of whatever is going to be taught, and not whatever they would like to learn. The same goes for a profession, relationships, journeys, or life in general. The best way to predict your future is to create it. How you lead yourself, your attitude, and your relationship with other people will make up the future you. If you are the type of person who procrastinates too much, blames others for your mistakes, doesn’t care to establish a good network, doesn’t have a purpose, and makes no effort to create something beautiful and useful in life, you will end up just like everyone else. If on the other hand you choose to have a more active and positive approach to your future, take control and make something worthwhile, you will create a unique, beautiful life your own way. Be the architect of your own future. In short, don’t wait for the future; create it.
