PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Fran Hafey
The New Year is finally here. When the Holidays roll around and
we're in the middle of December, it finally hits me, "oh my,
we're almost to the end of another year." I begin to think about
years past, my life in the present and the future.
I'm not one to put too much thought into resolutions, but like
many, there are things I would like to change in my life and ways
of loving myself more, on my mind this time of year.
I have learned that I am only one person and what I do each year,
each month, each day, hour and minute, makes a difference. I walk
closely with Spirit, paying attention to guidance and my
blessings.
Often, we let our minds go back to the past, remembering those
days gone by and the situations in our lives that have actually
molded us and made us stronger. I'm sure there are some instances
I would have done some things differently, but not many. The
"only ifs" are about like the "what ifs" and they really don't do
anything but take up our time and energy.
I do my best to live in the now and I have many dreams of the
future, some days I think they keep me sane. As someone very
precious to me told me recently, "The past made us who we are.
The present is now and should be embraced before it too is
yesterday. The future is our tomorrow and should be looked
forward to with hope and expectation for the beauty it promises.
I don't say one is more important than the other."
As always, the words touched my very soul and taught me something
valuable, but it's the love that I felt from the words that
changed my thoughts and helped me the most.
I have heard some people say "get out of the past and live for
now, the future will take care of itself." Will the future really
just take care of itself, or do we need to plant the seeds and
have faith that some of our dreams and desires will indeed come
true? We truly need a mixture of them all, the past, the present
and the future, to be who we are and do what we are here to do.
I am very blessed to know people in my life, that help me
remember ad recognize so much. I know without my past, I would
not be where I am today, and my present, well, I just keep busy,
loving, learning and sharing, and my future... well, thank
Spirit, I know my future is going to be great and filled with
many blessings beyond my wildest imagination. Have faith and
believe!!!
* I would like to thank my beautiful Twin flame/Soul mate for
helping me with this article, by his sharing his precious
thoughts. Always and forever.*
