No one knows what the future holds for anyone. We can visualise how it might look, how it could look, we can see it either bright or bleak,gloomy, dark or empty, nothing. Don't know what's coming around the corner at any time. We can't predict how things will be. We can make assumptions, generalisations, judgements and have expectations. The future will never exist in reality because we can only live in the present, in the here and now. We can make choices, have ideas, set goals, plan and change certain things that we want and need, taking positive healthy actions. Waiting passively for things to be better, wishing they would improve comparing ourselves to others isn't constructive. We can try to think more positively,have good ideas and plans but nothing is achievable without real helpful efforts, actions. Its no good ruminating about things that aren't important or that make us stressed and don't serve us well. Or worrying way ahead about the future. But that's what a lot of us do.. We're either going over stuff in our heads that have already happend that can't change or we're fearing, worrying about the future. We miss out on real living and on small, meaningful, beautiful things as a result. Whether depressed or not, people tend to focus more on negative aspects about themselves or others or situations, than positive ones, and it can be hard for anyone to make changes.
