What's the future to you?

Some Yoke

Ever notice how you can get caught up in the day-to-day and just float through weeks, months and maybe even years without much thought given to where you are and where you're going.
Then you sit back, try and picture the future, and don't have a clue what's in store. The future, all unknown. You can guess some things, probably, as the saying goes, "the more things change the more they stay the same".
You can try change it by being healthier, working on educating yourself but so much hangs on chance. (Or do you believe in fate, a master plan?)
I know what I'd hope to have, roughly, but I have to admit, a lot of it scares the sh*t out of me (debt etc.) and have an inclination to think that it wont end up as Id hope.
So, what do you think about the future? Anything you're working towards or looking forward to?
Positive stuff to look forward to can keep you plodding through the hard times so let's hear lots of that!

It's all about the here and now. Nobody knows when their time is up, so why not live every day like it's your last. It's a cliche, I know, and with work and everything else it can be difficult to do this, but once your attitude is right and you are nice to everyone around you, you're making a positive impact on the world.

Personally, I have plans, but they mostly depend on other people, which isn't something I'm happy with. But I have some things in life that I would like to achieve and see or do while I'm here, and I'm well on my way to doing them. I've jumped from a plane, I've swam with dolphins, I've seen some amazing places and I don't intend on stopping any time soon. Planning on going to the Arctic Circle in November to spend 4/5 days mushing in the wilderness. That's the kind of holiday that keeps me going, not a few weeks drinking in Ibiza.

The future is just the past that hasn't already happened.

I like to not think about things and let them fall into place. I did it with the leaving cert and CAO. Just let it work itself out. Things usually come right in the end for me which is good I don't like to plan things out because plans always lead to disappointment

It's very hard to plan out your future. It's always nice to have a bit of a framework, for example knowing what degree or job you are going to have for a few years. However, it is always difficult to set concrete plans for everything because no one knows what changes are gonna occur, whether it be with your family, relationships, interests or mental and physical capacity (however negative or positive that may seem). In my life, I find it best to have an idea of where I'd like to be in 5 or 10 years and adapt it every few months to whatever problems or opportunities might arise. As cliché as it sounds, I plan to be happy

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."- John Lennon
