Say you are working a job. You've been there for about 4 years and think it's time you take a leap of faith and apply for this position that you aren't really qualified for but you know you have the skills to do it. So you go to your boss, tell him that you badly want to be considered for the position. He tells you to apply but gives you a face like "yea right girl". You apply and now you are happy and talking about all the possibilities that the job will open up for you. You can see yourself in this position. You can see yourself thriving at this job. So you go into this thing head first excited and talking about the future in this job.
All excited you walk into your bosses office to drop off your application for him to look you in the face and say "listen, you're talking about the future with this job and I never said you were going to get it. I never even said that there was a future here for you. You need to focus on where you are right now! Instead of where you are going. I'm looking at other people anyway. I'm considering other people for this job."
What do you say? What do you do?!
This isn't exactly what I've faced. Well not with a job anyway. But I feel like this is where I am. I went head first into a thing and I've hit a brickwall. If you can't talk future in a situation then what are we talking about? I had a conversation with a friend. He said that he lives his life in the right now because you never know about tomorrow. But I look at it like this:
If we are living for today with no expectation of tomorrow then why do things today that will carry on into the future. Why get married today if you can't see the future? Why take the leap with a new job or career when you don't know if you will be around long enough to see it come to pass. It's just crazy to me. Everything I do I do because I see it being apart of my future. If I can't talk future with you then what are we even talking about to begin with?
I'm just saying...
