Heard a long time ago, it was wise to set your goals where they could never be fully reached. When asked why, they stated how bad it felt when not having anything to look forward to any longer.
Some look forward to the weekend; others, vacation time.
Some look forward to retirement; others, getting out of debt.
On some occasions, we find what we looked forward to to be surrounded with what we were hoping to leave behind us or just get away from. We are reminded that people are weak. Everyone is told they would be a whistleblower if they say anything. Worse yet: a rat. Fact is, we cannot look forward to that any longer because of our surroundings. If we say anything, it should be to the individual. If we are not true to our own selves, or if we do not love our own selves, we settle for their world instead of our own.
I have heard people looking forward to world peace, but peace must start within oneself. Maybe, they look forward to peace so they can be at peace?
The world really does fight with our spirits, though many fail to recognize this. Can we be at peace with our selves when someone insults our intelligence continually? Maybe we could look forward to others doing as we feel they should, but that may never work unless they die and go away. Maybe some of us look forward to death? Heaven? Our spirits being as one with others like-minded?
We reflect in the past, hope in the present, and most of us look forward to something. What do you look forward to?
