You're the builder - the future is waiting

"When all else is lost, the future still remains" - Christian Bovee

What have you lost? A house? A car? A loved one? Innocence? Hope? Faith? Happiness ... or maybe you have just lost interest altogether - in everything.

However painful or disheartening it may have been to suffer a loss, the good news is that "lost" is a past tense word. It's done. It's finished. Outside of playing it over and over again in your mind with dead-end, "what if" scenarios, you cannot experience the loss again. What you DO have is what is important, ad what you DO have is that most-important, unwritten, unpainted, blank piece of canvas that is your future. It remains, and it will be what you choose to make of it: that includes the next hour, the next day, the next week, or the next fifty years.

By doing something as simple as taking a different route to work, or breaking your routine in some seemingly insignificant way, you can begin to experience life from a new and fresh perspective. Try it. It works.

Just think about it. Regardless of what plans you have made, (or are allowing others to make for you), the FUTURE DOES NOT YET EXIST! It is only potential. It WILL be what you make of it. Try smiling and laughing when you don't really feel like it. Try believing everything will work out in your favor, no matter how it may look. Dare to dream and expect those dreams to come to pass at any moment. Every time the phone rings, imagine that it is great news for you. Do this one moment at a time, and those moments will add up to days, and those days into weeks, and those weeks into years. Do this, and one day you will look around you and realize that your dreams are in your lap, and that the future is an exciting dream waiting for you to arrive.
