The Catalyst

Hello All,


Frauds such as psychics, prophets, and fortune tellers maintain they can see the future. These people allegedly know what is going to happen before anyone else. They use crystal balls, tarot cards, or even scriptures to hoke* up the fact these individuals can no more see the future than I can eat BBQ ribs with chopsticks. It’s a shame that everyone doesn’t possess these magnificent abilities. Couldn’t we all benefit from seeing the future even if it was just for one moment? Sure it would be nice. But alas, whether you want to believe it, no one can see what is going to happen next. Personally, I think knowing the future takes the spice out of life but I digress. While some of you have your best days ahead of you, the rest of you have already achieved the apex in your life. No matter which category you fit in there is only one thing you need to focus on: What do I do right now?
Everybody should take at least 20 minutes each day to figure out what they are doing with the life they’ve been blessed with. So many of us take our existence for granted. I don’t think that we purposefully waste our lives. I just think that there is so much information we have to sort through that it’s hard to find a purpose. We have our parents who want us be one thing. Then we have our spiritual advisor(s) who want us to be another. On top of that, society in general takes one look at us and tells us how to think and live based on gender, race, and other meaningless traits. Unfortunately, what gets lost in the shuffle is what “we” want. Not only are we trying to figure out what we want, we also have to figure out how to get it and how long it should take. Not having solutions to these issues brings about a desperate confusion which causes us to question our own judgment, fall into depression, and put our complete trust in individuals who otherwise would have never earned our confidence. It’s easy to become vulnerable to con artists who offer peace of mind in exchange for money especially when you have questions where the answers can’t legitimately be proven.
There is no reason to wonder what the future holds, people. As long as you do the right things now the future will take care of itself. Whether you’re a scientifically minded individual who believes in cause and effect or you’re a holy roller that believes that one reaps what one sows; the same truth applies. If you take care of business now you will insure yourself a prosperous future. If you’re happy now, you’ll be happy later. I know that times are tough. The future seems uncertain and it should be. Like I mentioned before, uncertainty makes life interesting. Knowing the ending of a movie spoils the experience. All you need to concern yourself with is what’s happening right now. If you want optimism look to the past. It will show you all the situations you thought would break you. It will show you the times where you faced tremendous odds and you overcame. Don’t walk sheepishly through the day wondering what will happen tomorrow. March triumphantly because you understand that no matter what your situation looks like you are a survivor and this too shall pass.

“To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.” – Ralph Waldo Trine
