The past is history, the future is a mystery, and the present is a gift. That's a quote from Kung Fu Panda haha. I heard this when I was twelve or thirteen and I loved it, I've always heard the present is a gift, but adding the past and future was amazing. Now I've been sleeping on this writing for awhile but I'm excited to write this and we're gonna touch on these topics right here. How the present is a gift, you make your own future, and what I'm really excited for is this, mistakes. I've heard this so many times to the point where I couldn't stand it at one point where I was sick of it. But that's because I never thought about it. Now I am thinking about it, literally right now lol. I'm never prepared for these things but that's not a bad thing. Anyways, the present really is a gift, you live in an amazing time. Your life expectancy is 80 years old you have color in the world, you have all your tech which is what you're reading this through. Be grateful for the years you live in, it might not be perfect, but you have to think about the good things over the bad. There's a lot of bad things happening, and that's what we're exposed to from the news and social media. No one goes and talks about the amazing things happening in the world. Things like scientific breakthroughs, charity donations, etc. So look at the positive it's better than the negative. You live in an amazing time in the world, people just prevent themselves from seeing it, don't be one of them. People want to find negative things and spread it around. Find positive things and spread it around change someone for the good, if they're guilty of spreading negativity.this world has so many possibilities now find what you love, and do it, go for it. Don't let society tell you what you can and can't do, you are the only one that can control that. Take the opportunities or "gifts" the present gives you, so many people don't take their opportunities, then they find negative things to talk about wink wink.
You make your own future. It is a mystery as the wise turtle said, but you can make it yours, it's all in your hands. As I've already stated the world has so many opportunities you just need to find yours and take it. Or find what you love and do it. This world has many people interested in things you can do what you want and have people with you. Try new things and keep doing what you're doing. At the end of the day you can do what you want and you can't blame anyone for not being able to. You can't blame time either, you have enough of it, it's just how you use it that matters. Use time well, don't let the future come and you didn't do what you wanted to do. As Warren Buffet said, "The chains of habit are too weak to be felt, until they are to strong to be broke." Make sure you don't procrastinate believe in yourself and control the future in your hands, like I control cards in my hands. As humans we tend to make mistakes. A lot of mistakes. Now there's nothing wrong with that, it's natural and part of a humans learning and maturing process. You can't learn many things until you accidentally do it like dropping glass and having it shatter, you learn glass can shatter. Or when you get hurt you see how not to do something. As I said mistakes are the way humans learn things without them we wouldn't know a lot of things. Steve jobs didn't make the IPhone first try it probably took years of trial and error. Same with everything else, we need mistakes without mistakes there would be no fixing. If we didn't fix things everything would be broken and that's no good. Sometimes it takes big mistakes to learn things, like Global Warming and having a hole in our atmosphere, we learned that it's not good for us if we just do whatever we want with our waste. Now you will make mistakes and never be sad that you did, just take what you did and ask yourself, "what could I have done different?" It will take you far once you come so consensus that you're gonna make mistakes. Just keep learning from them. In the end, the past present and future are all connected. You make mistakes in the past and present which you learn from fix for or in the future. You have control over your future and life. Because you were born in an amazing time. The present really is a gift. So is your life be happy you have it it's amazing. Lastly I will repeat that opportunities won't be there forever take them when they come it will help you immensely. And learn how to learn from your mistakes, it's an amazing life skill we all need. For success you need failure. There's no pass without a fail, there's no win without a lose, there's no first without a last.
