Lately I have been thinking about what the future really is and what it means. A philosophy I have is that the future does not exist. Only the present and past exist. The future is only relevant in your mind. For example, I am typing right now in the present. What I have just typed is in the past, but ten minutes from now cannot be predicted. It can be thought about and considered, but there are too many present variables that lay to be able to know what will happen. You can make plans for the future, but there is no guarantee that it will happen. it is only relevent when it is present.
Well this is how I've been thinking lately. I've seen so many people say " What if it doesn't work out?, what if I fail?, What if? What if? I've learned that without the future being such a scary thing, there is no use for the phrase "what if?" "With every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." relating that to life, to me it means that whatever happens, I need to be prepared for good and bad. I get involved with someone, I need to be prepared and aware that things may not go as planned. So the way i'll live my life is without fear of the WHAT IF. I'll continue to try and be a good person, help people when I can and take initiative in my life when need be. I understand that this way of thinking doesn't work for everyone, but in recent situations it has been very helpful in the development of my new life.

You are right, future only exists in our minds but that's the power of it.
We have the power to make plans, to learn, to make things so that we build the future we want.
It's true that it might not happen for so many reasons but there are still so many chances that it will happen.
You know that the main reason why it's more than probable that it will happen is because we believe that it will happen.
