The future is like a desert — no one truly knows what shape it will take.

The only thing we truly know is the present moment. The path we are walking right now is the only reality we can touch. Tomorrow — or even one minute from now — we have no certainty about what will happen. We can only assume, imagine, or predict.

Don’t let the future make you afraid. Don’t let it create suffering over something that hasn’t even happened. The future exists mostly in our thoughts.

What is real is the present.

So simply do your best with what is in front of you now.
