TIME TRAVEL, ANYONE?

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”― Bill Keane

LET YOUR STORY BEGIN

Being part of history means we can live out important and treasured moments in our lives and attain them a memorial to remember in the future.

No need to wait for something great to happen, no need to wait for the proper time to do it, because in my opinion, every second is part of history depending on how we respond and make it meaningful, so, it deserves to be remembered someday.

Perhaps this sounds too far-fetched, but as the saying goes, yesterday is history, because it has happened, then whatever we did yesterday is in the past, has become history. We only need to get a line, whether today can be more skillful than yesterday or today is the same or even worse than yesterday.

No need to be sorry, life goes on, time will never be able to be turned back. If we make a mistake today, make sure it won’t happen in the future. Because there will always be a second chance for more proficient.

History exists as a marker and a warning, like a mirror, sometimes we need to turn around to see briefly what is passing behind. Simply, don’t look back too long, stay focused on the future and make your history a reference to keep improving and trying to be better every day.

People make mistakes, not a few who are careless, but history always records, everything is sure to keep moving. You will always learn from your faults.

Don’t give up too soon. Keep going and record new history in every process of your life journey. Because only you can determine the history you want to write.

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”― Winston S. Churchill

LET’S GET STARTED

History will not await till we are ready, because all will keep moving forward, time will keep running. So make sure every second of our life counts.

  • Define the Past. This means that everything has become history for you. Anything that is impossible to repeat, but can be a lesson and a turning point for you to live a better life.
  • Define the Present. Mapping out all the potential within yourself that you can utilize to accomplish your current goals. Live your dream today. Take in all the soft skills you have as ammunition to reach all your goals.
  • Define the Future. Prepare a long-term plan to actualize all your hopes for the hereafter. Create it as detailed as possible and write down what steps you will take every day, so that everything runs according to plan and if there may be obstacles, they can be anticipated.
  • Do not hesitate. People make mistake. It’s natural, so don’t be afraid, be courageous. All things need a process to become a habit. If you are hardly starting to practice something, do it continuously. Your hard work will not betray the results afterwards.
  • Think critically. This is really important to do. This will teach us not to easily get carried away by unstable conditions and situations. We will not be easily provoked and tend to be skeptical. This will benefit us, so that we are not easily consumed by hoaxes.
  • Make it a habit. All the positive things we are doing must be done continuously. This will take root in us, then become a good habit and in our subconscious mind it will become natural to perform without the need for encouragement to behave so.

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” — Confucius

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

Live the day. Enjoy it with all your heart. Everything will become a life story that will teach us to appreciate the process.

We don’t have to be perfect in everything. The mistakes that occur will actually mature us and will make us understand that living forever is a learning process.

If you fall you have to get up again and if you find a dead end you need to shift the route and find a new path.

Your history will be the story of your life. Good and bad are just terms, but if we learn from all the processes, the result is a valuable life experience.

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela
