I believe everyone of us have thoughts of achieving success sometime in our lives. However, the older we get, with the amount of setbacks that we’ve encountered in our lives, sometimes, we wonder if we could ever achieve success Well, you might be glad to know that:-

The Past Does NOT Equate to the Future Unless You Live There!

Everyday, we’re all living in the Present, which is like a gift as in a present (spelt exactly the same as the word present as in the present day). Well, maybe we should regard today as a gift and treasure it like a gift

Below is a concept I like to share:

E x C + A = R

R = E x C + A

Where:-

E = Environment

C = Circumstances (Events)

A = Action [A(E)=Action with Emotion or Experience; A(S/K)= Action with Skill or Knowledge]

R = Result [This result is a consequence of our action or non-action. It could be a positive (+ve) result or a negative (-ve) result depending on what is our action to a situation(an event or circumstance)].

Hence, with the above explanation, the equation becomes:-

A) Environment x Circumstances + Action = Result

B) Result= Environment x Circumstances + Action

Now, looking at the same phrase you seen earlier: The Past Does NOT Equate to the Future Unless You Live There! We can equate the E x C as the Past, A as the Present, and R as the Future.

Where our current Environment and our current Circumstances (both our Environment and our Circumstances are inter-related, that’s the reason why the symbol ‘x’ or ‘times’ equation is used) are the results of our past actions. We might not change our past actions, but as we’re living in the present, we could still change the result of our future Environment and our future Circumstances, see equation B above (Please refer to Notes at the end of this article).

With this explanation, the equation becomes:-

Past [Environment x Circumstances] + Present [Action] = Future [Result]

Hence,

the Past Does Not Equate to the Future because you have the Present to change the Future

Since our Future is decided by the actions we take in the Present,  then we should be aware of what actions we take as they would determine the type of Future we’re having. Remember A(E)=Action with Emotion or Experience; A(S/K)= Action with Skill or Knowledge? Well, since our actions are determined by our emotion, past experience, skill and knowledge, then we should learn how to control our emotion, customize our experience and improve our skill and knowledge so that we could do the right action when we’re faced with a difficult situation.

With the pasting of time, our current action would become the past (eg. yesterday) and our future would become our present (eg. today). Hence, if you want a better tomorrow, start by taking positive actions today to create a tomorrow that you would look forward to

Remember these phrases that were posted in a previous article in this website:

People Blame Circumstances for What They Are. To Be Successful, Look for the Circumstances You Want. If You Cannot Find Them, Create Them!

The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Invent It

Some Men see Things as They are and say Why? I see Things that Never were and say Why Not!

Notes: If our current Environment is not producing the Circumstances we desire, we might want to consider changing this environment. Remember, we’re not a tree, rooted to the ground, so if we can’t fit into the environment that we’re in, we might consider moving on to another environment that could give us the circumstances we want. This is especially true if we’re not enjoying the environment we’re in and we can’t seem to change this environment to suit us (I’m assuming that we’re doing all we can to fit into the environment we’re in but still can’t fit in. Meaning, the problem is in our environment and not with us). I think you might like this phrase:

Do Not Try to Fit In if You Are Born to Stand Out!

Hence, if you always can’t seem to fit in even after trying really hard, maybe you might just be born to stand out
