71 Future Quotes
We all look to the future for hope and to believe that things will improve. What does the future hold for us? What determines what will happen tomorrow? Read these quotes about the future for when you’re determining what your future may hold.
The future can offer us an expanded version of our current selves. We all hope that if we are ready to seize the opportunities that come our way, our lives will improve. This is a distinctly Human thing to do, in effect – we make a bargain with the future. IF we forgo certain things today (not eating that cake in the freezer, or going for a run, or saving that cash we were given instead of spending it), we will be rewarded in the future.
Delaying gratification is when we make a deal with our future selves. If we are going to be kind to our future selves, we want things to be better over time, not worse – so we work to make things easier for ‘future me’. Drug addicts, slackers and dreamers all ‘live in the now’ – and unfortunately for them, they reap what they sow (they don’t sow anything, so their harvest is meagre).
When you look after ‘future you’ – you’re looking out for yourself, which is (hopefully!) a better version of you now. It’s a wonderful concept – to make a bargain with the future. So why not devote some time to thinking about what you want and what you’re going to have to do to get there, to make things that you want to happen, happen!?Your future will be made by the work you put in today – to move you one step closer to where you want to be.
Delay gratification and act now to start building the future you want! (TOP TIP: sitting back and hoping for the best is not the best strategy)
