The Best Way to Predict the Future Is to Create It.

“Take up one idea, make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, and every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.”

–Swami Vivekananda

Have you ever been more curious to know what the future holds for you? We all have wanted to have a sneak peek of our future selves at some point.

But, guess what, you can do that! Rather than getting lost in thinking about the future, work to curate a life that matches your expectations.

What your destiny holds for you is a direct reflection of your actions. Luck doesn’t come without effort. The composition of success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. If you don’t take the steering in your hands, you cannot reach where you want to!

The work for the future needs to start today. The foundation for tomorrow’s empire needs to be laid today.

Success is different for everyone, but the resolutions and decisions to do the needful are stagnant for all!

“Light tomorrow with today.”

—Elizabeth Barrett Browning

But, how do you create a future for yourself? Read along to find the answer!

Hold onto integrity

The good values you hold will always bring light into your life. Unethical actions will never fetch real results. The attempt should always be based on doing things based on personal values.

Believe in yourself

The many times you are told to believe in yourself, the significant value of the phrase keeps on increasing. Everyone else’s trust in you starts with your trust in yourself. All who think they can do it and all who believe they cannot are equally correct!

Practise gratitude

We are often so lost trying to accomplish things we don’t have that we fail to appreciate what already exists in our lives. So many do not have the least proportion of blessings that you own. When your grateful heart strives towards something, the achievement comes most significantly and sustainably.

Start prioritising things

Make a priority list for all your daily activities, and then start following it religiously. Until you start prioritising things in life, things will never fall right and as per requirement.

Live at present

In trying to create a bright future for tomorrow, you cannot ignore what awaits for today. The work you put in today will manifest tomorrow in success, but that does not mean you start living in tomorrow. Focusing on the present work is more important. Focusing on the process will eventually fetch you results!
