What is More Important?

Tonight while sitting in a meeting, a letter was read that posed this question, "What is more important, my past, or my future?" I have never met the person so I have no idea of his past or the potential for his future. I thought about his question and have decided on my own answer. My answer is the present. His current state of being and his current actions are the ones of any real value. For the present actions show if we have learned anything from our past and they tell us of our likely future. Today is a combination of all of our yesterdays. Tomorrow is created out of our actions today and the desires we have of what we wish to create out of the future.

It is a good reminder to enjoy the memories, make memories and to plan for memories. The present is the the most important - we should always live in the Now.

It was the Master who said to his 12 Apostles, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
