Unfortunately, this is the way most people look at the future: not with an intent to become better or improve, but with the intent to remain exactly as they are. That’s why future is such a big issue.
Then there is the other kind of mind. It says, “Obviously, I know I am not alright as I am. I have to get better. I must improve. I must change. Therefore, I look towards the future as an opportunity, a challenging opportunity. I want to be better tomorrow, and let me plan for it. Let me do everything I can in order to be better. Planning is a part of my efforts to get better. I am doing a lot to get better, and that includes planning as well. How am I looking at the future? I want to be the best possible. I want to reach the highest place possible.”
