are you worrying your future? someone say to me that future "was written", we all have our own way to through life... but some people say that we must "create" our own way... what do you think about it?

Some people do belive in the destiny and others don't, i'm from the second group ^^. I think we can't have only one destiny, but we have many destinies because it always change when we choose to go on another way, if we change our actions and our minds, our destiny change too. It's my opinion. ^^ What's about you?

I like the quote, "worry is nothing more than interest paid on debts that have not come due." So, I say, no (like the song says: don't worry, be happy!) Worrying about what might happen tomorrow only distracts you from what IS happening today. Tomorrow doesn't even exist; only today does. Carpe diem!

Here is a little song I wrote, You might want to sing it note for note, Don't worry, be happy. In every life we have some trouble, when you worry, you make it double. Don't worry, be happy.

yes I do believe that we create our own future. I think from the time we get into high school that is when our future begins to unfold, what we do with our lives from that point on show what our future will be. If we stay in school and get an education and go out in the world with some knowledge to help us get a good job and have nice things or we can just quit and do nothing with our lives and that will determine what the rest of our future will hold for us. Somes lives are already mapped out for them, kids that are born into rich families, like the Hilton girls, I think our future is mapped out for us and we are given the knowledge to go in that direction, but there are many things along the way that sometimes takes us off that path and end up going the wrong way. If like my grand daughter who has seen her mother struggle to raise them with out their father's help, she has her future already mapped out for her, college, becoming a doctor and although she has a boyfriend she has had for 4 years she has made it plain she that nothing will stop her from what she plans to do with her life. She has studied hard in school and I think she will do good in college. No matter if it mapped out for us at birth, we still have to plan it out and make the best of it we can, or just live with nothing to show for our time here on earth but the messes we made. So what we create we live with.

hi friend, No,never we should worry about our future. We have to think about now and present days to live not about future. In my life every thing will happens good and success. In life up's and down's comes but we should be strong never about future. Plan a proper way in future so you can achieve your goals very successful in your life. have a good day.

Dear nenknonk I dont believe about future but I am having enough confident on my present... So I never think about future for any work or decisions and I have to decide anything based on the presence only... Yes for sometimes I felt that our action was pre-written by God... Because eventhough we worked carefully, but sometimes the results are not with in our hand and went to sad... That time I felt soo... Anyway forgot past, dont think about future and believe in the present and start to make our life be happy... This is my policy

You shouldn't worry too much about the future. Just take care of the things you have to do today and future will take care of itself.

Yes we should worry about our future also, but we should not be worry too much. Whats important is now i.e. present. You cannot go back to past or leap forward to future. I think religion has a say for whether or not future was written or create in our own way. For Christian, its how God design our path that we have to follow.

I think future is really a "mystery". we can't really predict what would happen.even if we create our own way, some things happen which we didn't really expected, or on the contrary of what we expected to happen.the best thing is not to worry about it.whatever happens, we can still pass through it.

The time when I could not see clearly the target at the front road, I was at a loss. Now I try my best to plant some dream seeds, and look forward to get more in the future.

I beleive in that too. I believe that it is up to us on what we would want to have in our future. I dont believe anything that has something to do with destiny. I just dont believe that the richest people in the world became rich because they were destined for that. I believe they become rich because of the efforts they made. So if we want to be rich, we have to work for it. So there's no need to worry about our future, just think of the things that you wanted to do to be able to have the best that your future has for you.

no, it's a waste of time worrying for something that still don't happen. thoughts creates actions and reactions and if you tend to worry too much,chances are you are attracting negative actions and reactions that will bring to reality the circumstances you're afraid to happen.

Hi nenknonk,I don't think that we should worry about our future because worry can only harm us. We do create our own future so we must always expect only the best.The way we live our lives today decides what tomorrow will be like.Blessings.

AS far as I am concerned, I think we need to worry about the future. We have the responsibility for the future. If we do not think about the future, I think we can not stand on our own feet.Evryone in the world should live their own, If not think about the future, what the day will become?We do not know.so Future will make sure of our life tomorrow.
