When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.
I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
Basically I wake up in the morning and I think everything's going to be great. I'm really kind of optimistic, and I look forward to a new day. I pick up 'The New York Times,' and I look at the front page and realize that once again I'm wrong. I start to fixate on stuff.
I understand that ups and downs in life keep wavering, and it's important to understand them and why they happen. So I learn whatever I have to and then move forward.
I'm not big on looking back beyond the moment in which decisions and events occur. I'm always pushing forward.
I don't care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.
I just consciously try to enjoy the good things that are happening. And if it ended tomorrow, that would be fine.
I'm living in the present, thinking about the past, hoping for the future.
So I try not to look too far into the future because I think that everything happens and will happen for a reason.
