When we were young
When We Are Young
Training Our Thoughts When We are Young


When we are young, sometimes we forget that how we live today, determines our tomorrows, if we have them. We tend to forget that we will someday be older and that our needs will change. We forget that how we react to life today, could determine our reactions tomorrow. In fact, when we are young, we have a tendency not to think we will ever be old; it is the farthest thing in our thinking…for some, that is. It seems so far down the road, getting old that is; yet when it arrives we are in wonder how it passed us by so quickly. That’s when regrets set in and we wish we had thought about it sooner instead of being afraid we were going to miss something. There is a right way and a wrong way to Live Just For Today. We must remember that we will not have a chance to live today again.

1. I've always had elderly friends and family members.
Never looked at the short-term.

Are most younger people really this isolated from their own futures?
