Thinking About the Future

Why do our brains stubbornly insist on projecting us into the future

 when there is so much stuff to think about right here today?

Future, 

we look into the future so that we can make predictions about it

we make predictions about it so that we can 

control

Apparently, gaining control 

can  have a positive impact on one’s health and well-being, 

but losing control can be worse than never having had 

any at all.

Therefore, the key to happiness, 

fulfillment, and enlightenment is  

to stop thinking so much about the future.
