Forging Your Future: Crafting the Life You Desire

Birth of Insight

In creating the fabric of life, each of us stands at the loom with choices, opportunities, and challenges placed there by fate. The pattern which emerges is woven from this two-fold warp: its nature and its destiny are entirely in our own hands. This seems at once to be both heady wine and bitter draught, the ultimate power residing firmly in the hands of man, urging him to write his own part as author and therefore with purpose and resolve. Coming to understand this power signifies taking a first stride away from passiveness and towards creative activity. It means recognizing that what we call the future is not a faraway panorama of mountains and oceans but a landscape waiting to be shaped by the magic of our hands and the wills of our hearts.

Sometimes, this journey is indeed lonely: a road taken alone in those moments when we make fundamental choices and decisions. Yet equally, it is a world-wide journey. Every soul that dared to dream and do echoes the striving and victory of our own lives. It is in this shared discovery that greatness of strength and inspiration lies. And perhaps no words more aptly sum up this notion than those of Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th President:

"The best ways to predict your future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln

Charting the Way

Starting down the road towards your future is like a ship setting sail into uncharted waters. You need a map for this voyage that is not found in any atlas but is instead drawn from your dreams, values, and from what you have learned in the past. First, see what your destination will look like—do not think of this as an end, but think of it instead as shining star which will guide you on into the frontier. This vision then becomes your compass as you go through all kinds of trials, triumphs and hatred.

The Forge of Self-Discovery

The forge of self-discovery is a place where the steel of one's character is put to test and trained. Here you find out just exactly how financially sturdy, clever and determined you are. In this cauldron, the mold for the future gains its shape one bold decision at time. Every small victory, no matter how minor it may first appear to you, is yet another proof of your own power and another step towards what you'll be.

The Fellowship of Mentorship

There is no journey through heroes without companions and instructors, people who have started the journey with us can help teach us how to make a swing at the forest or leap over a mountain. To seek out mentors is not a sign of weakness but wisdom. It shows that while each hero walks his own path alone, wisdom--in how to journey along them--is often best discovered by many sharing their discoveries with those around them.

The Triumph of Perseverance

In being your future architect, you must keep at it. Some of the storms will send you aside, and some of the shadows will blot out your guiding star. But here it’s only then that the true nature of your journey becomes clear. Perseverance is not only about holding out- it is about finding ways to go on, giving ground when necessary, and then running forward. It's sticking to your figurehead, even when the squalls of life strike against it most.

The Legacy of Creation

Ultimately, the future you fashion is your legacy- it bears witness to the decisions you made, terrors and conquests you survived, and dreams pursued. The tale is one of your own construction, rich with the passages of your unique journey. This legacy is not just for you, but for those who come behind; it shines in their eyes what one might achieve if he dares seize control of his destiny and create the future.
