Future Failure

Future Failure

"So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34).

In the scripture above, our Lord Jesus Christ reminds us not to worry about what will happen tomorrow.

This may sound illogical at first thought ! One would expect to plan for the future. What the Lord is telling us is that we should focus on tasks to be done today in order to successfully accomplish them . If you can not achieve anything today how do you expect to win tomorrow ? The adage "Tomorrow never comes" is true in all aspects.

I have recently read a book called "The Power of Now . A Guide to Spiritual Enlightment" by Eckhart Tolle, from Wattpad.com

If you have a java enabled cell phone the book can be downloaded from Wattpad.com and read offline from your mobile phone.

A hardcover copy of this book can also be bought from Amazon.com

In Chapter 2 , Eckhart talks about "create no more pain in the present". He also says that we should remember that " nothing exists out of the present". The past was there for us to learn lessons from so that we do the right thing now . The knowledge you have now is as a result of what you have learnt in a school classroom and life.

If you can not focus on what you should do now you are assured of a "Future Failure" .

Tomorrow can, therefore, be described as your "Future Now" which depends on what you do "Now" !
