What you do today becomes...





What you do today becomes a good memory tomorrow.

What you can recall now is something that you did in the past.

If you understand this simple fact, you'll realize that you have the power to change your future memory.

Some people may argue that I should use the word "future image", in stead of "future memory" because future memory sounds a bit contradicting.

Memory by definition is something that you remember from the past. Future on the other hand means the time after the present. Therefore, these two words are contradicting.

But please observe your memory. Then you'll realize that our memory is merely an accumulation of your images, sounds, and etc that are stored somewhere in our brain.

If you envision the future, you are visualizing what will happen in the future as an image, sound and so on.


~☆~☆~☆~


To summarize, the past memory and future vision are basically and virtually the same bits of information in you brain.

The past is something that you can recall, and the future is something that you can envision, or imagine.

Both deal with pictures or other senses.

So, what you do will be recorded as an image and sound, and we call it a memory.
What you will do is perceived as an image and sound, and we call it a goal.

By following above thought process, we can conclude that our memory and our goal are fundamentally the same.

Well, today's article could be very challenging for some of you as an English learner, but I hope that what I write will have a good impact on your life.

Have a good goal, because it will eventually become your good memory.

Thank you for reading, and...
have a wonderful day.
