Its your future...

Would you want to see the future, even if you knew you couldnt change it??

So I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately, I've even asked some friends what they think.

Most of them said 'No', that they would prefer the future be a kept hidden , so that they could be surprised by life, and experience everything as it happens not waiting, expecting things to happen.

But for me, the truth is I would love to see what my future looks like, maybe not my whole future, but just certain aspects. I would like to know that I'm heading in the right direction, that my new career i'm about to start in 2 weeks is the right one, that I'll be good at it and excel my knowledge and make a difference in people lives.

I'd like to know that the thoughts constantly running through my head are going to happen, that it's not just my desire but also the desire and goals God has for my life also. After all my life is to please him and do as he so desires not just what I want at this present moment in time.

I'd like to know that the move i'm thinking of embarking on in a year is right, that it's not just my heart telling me to go and leave everything that's comfortable for me, but that there is a greater purpose behind this. I'd like to know that it's not just a spur of the moment idea but that it has a meaning.

I believe this next year of my life will be one where I grow not just emotionally, spiritually and physically, but that I also learn to support myself, and can learn to be braver and stronger in who I am as a person. After all, if I plan on living by myself, in another state away from the comfort of my family I'll need all the inner strength I can gain.

Yes, I'll be able to meet new people, and learn what it's like to have to rely completely on myself but I think it's an important step I need to take. Everyone has to take this step at one point in life, and I don't want to look back and realize that I could of had it all if I'd only plucked up the courage to try new things and take big steps instead of relying on others to do it for me.

I have no doubt that it will be challenging and hard, but it will also be a journey of self discovery. Where I can learn so much more about who I am, what I stand for and what's in-store for my life and my future.

So would you want to see the future, even if you knew you couldn't change it??
