The future, when it comes, is just like the present. The present is all you have and the opportunity of the present is worth more than the success of the past or the promise of the future.

About This Quote

The future will be more similar to the present than it will be different. We only have the present, not the past or the future. The past is already gone, and the future is still coming. If you are not happy with your life now, you will be unhappy with your life in 10 years.

We are always looking forward to our futures, but there is no guarantee that life will get better. There are many people who are always pushing their futures ahead of them, but they never seem to get there.
