The future is shaped by our choices in the present from "summary" of Time and Free Will (Annotated Edition) by Henri Bergson

The future is not a predetermined outcome that we passively await. Instead, it is a result of the choices we make in the present. Our present actions and decisions have a direct impact on what lies ahead. Every choice we make today contributes to shaping the path that we will walk tomorrow. By recognizing the significance of our present choices, we gain a sense of agency and responsibility in creating our future. We are not merely subject to the whims of fate or external forces beyond our control. Rather, we are active participants in determining the course of our lives. Our choices are not isolated events but interconnected threads that weave together to form the fabric of our future. Each decision builds upon the next, creating a chain reaction that unfolds over time. It is through this continuous process of choosing that we mold the shape of things to come. The future is not set in stone but is malleable and responsive to our intentions and actions. Every decision we make opens up new possibilities and closes off others, steering us towards certain outcomes while leaving room for unforeseen developments. Our choices serve as the building blocks that construct the reality we will inhabit tomorrow. In understanding the power of our present choices, we come to realize the importance of mindfulness and deliberation in our decision-making. We must consider not only the immediate consequences of our actions but also their long-term implications. By making thoughtful and intentional choices, we can chart a course towards a future that aligns with our values and aspirations.
  1. The future is a reflection of the cumulative impact of our choices in the present. It is a dynamic and evolving landscape that we have a hand in shaping. Through conscious decision-making and active engagement with the world around us, we can steer the course of our lives towards the outcomes we desire.
