“Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.” – Douglas Horton

My Thoughts: 

When you have a good life and everything seems to be okay, feels great. However, the feeling is only for the moment and as you grow up more feeling come by. The sad part is that the more feelings that come by, might just not be as happy as it was when you were younger. As we have a good life, eventually down the road something always tends to go bad. This is life and everything just happens for a reason.

The Past 

If everything was so great in the past, it means you lived for the moment. You desired the time being and you enjoyed it. As the world turns, the clock ticks, and our age grows. In time, several years pass by and all of a sudden you are getting older. As you are older, if your expectations don’t match your thoughts when you were younger, problems arise. These problems change the moods and behaviors mentally, turning thoughts from the happy times to the challenging, often resulting in Stress.

Stress rises when our expectations are not met. During these times, if we compare to the past, we are shattered. This is why I like to say that, if you are having fun now, be careful that you are not missing out on the important things in life.

The Future 

The future is where we are right now. During this time, it is important to remember to live prepared for tomorrow. Think about being successful so you don’t need to suffer. Work on school and build a career. Think how you want your life to be in 10-20 years and live to accomplish that.

Of all, the most important thing is to not look back and feel bad to where you are now. It is most important to start right now to make the change better for your upcoming future.
