I'm looking back a lot now days. I'm sixty. So there is a good deal of "past" in my life. For me now there is much thought on the subject of "what could have been" what or "what should have been." Don't get me wrong. That's not all I do. There is still a whole lot of "future" for us and we're continually planning for the next adventure and the next trip.
But for you at your age life is all about the future. You're looking forward. For you its what is possible, can be, can do, will do, will see. It's all laid out there for you. It's called the future. It's exciting, bright & possible. The future is the whole world and it belongs to you.
You're standing at a great place now: the end of childhood & the beginning of life. Childhood with all its games & play times is nothing. It's empty. The future is everything. It's real, it's full, it's now.
It's exciting right? But dangerous too! Youthful decisions and mistakes can be disastrous for you. You're vulnerable. Decision making now changes from insignificant and minor; like what's in style, what music to listen to, what phone, to do home work or not, to study for a test or play around. Now the adult decisions are what degree to pursue & what to do with your life.
Look, if you have the freedom to make these life decisions on your own; you have the obligation to make sure they come from a mature and we'll thought out place. Seek counsel from people who have been down the same road and made vastly different decisions. Compare their lives and lifestyles. Please look up and out and above.
