The future is forever because every day comes with its own future; be it tomorrow, next week or next year for that matter. Everyone talk about it, dream it or live it in some way or the other but few believe that the future is actually here and now. Few have the understanding that today is the future and that our tomorrow is made today yesterday is history. Except in our memory, yesterday don't exist. To enjoy today we must move on from yesterday and all the experiences we've had - good or bad.

Why should we forget about the so great and lovely life we had yesterday or the pains people or circumstances inflicted on us? Why are we not having the great life we had yesterday or forget the terrible way we were treated yesterday? Thinking of the good times past creates sadness while thinking about the past wrongs creates worries and pain. Living in the present is taking one day at a time and trying to make the best of it hoping to do better. 

Never Live in Fear My Daughter

Step out and worry not of the dark,
be fearless, be brave, be of courage,
there's no such thing as fear,
in the mind that venture into the unknown;

What is fear after all?
if not the coward's tool of defence,
the fear-stricken is not safe when in hiding?
fear has not a shape any man has ever sighted,
except in the eyes of the retreating coward;

Be brave my sister for God is on thy side;
be valiant my brother for God is thy shield,
fear is unreal, a mere negative feeling,
which strikes the body when the mind is weakened,
it is a phantom that fools the stricken mind,
into inaction, retreat or collapse;
