Predicting The Future

Most of us would love to know what’s ahead.  We have all kinds of questions?  Will I be happy? Healthy? Alone? More spiritual? Aging gracefully?  Insecure?  All these anxious questions are about maintaining the illusion of control.  We think if we know what’s coming we can prepare for it.  Since we can never know what will happen in the world, the only way to be ready is to prepare our inner selves to meet with whatever comes.  Will we meet it with love, peace, equanimity?  Or fear, resistance, complaint? The answers to our futures are found in the only place that really exists:  the present moment.
