YOUR FUTURE.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1879

Have you given any thought to
your future? More especially. have
you given any thought to the vitality
important truth. that whatever your
future is to be, you yourself are shap-
ing it now?
The future never Just happens. I'm
derstand that well. 1t is always a
product of the past, Of the deeds of
the past.
You want, of course. to have a
bright, prosperous. happy. healthy fu-
ture. Are you building such future
today?
Take stock of your habits. your
thinking habits, your working habits,
your living habits. If they are good,
cident or unavoidable disease. If they
are not good. your future will be bad
unless You speedily correct them.
Every day you go to work. Do you
put your whole heart into your work?
Or do you try to get through the day
with as little work as possible?
Every day You have a certain
amount of leisure. Do you regard it
merely as time to be killed? Or as
time to be used for self Improvement?
The money you receive for your
daily work, what do you do with that?
Does some of it go into the bank?
Or does all of it go into other peo-
pies. pockets, for necessaries and for
pleasures?
Bethink yourself of your pleasures.
They have an important. an all-im-
portant. bearing on your future.
Are they constructive pleasures or
destructive ones? You know very well
what I mean. If destructive, don't fool
yourself into thinking that you can
dodge their inevitable consequences.
1t may be fun" now to go dissi-
pating night after night. But it won't
seem so much fun" when looked back
at from a future of financial or physi-
cal or mental wreckage. And this is
the kind of future that such fun"
always brings.
Then. too. consider your present at
titude toward your fellow men.
AS you now are treating them, the
future is pretty sure to treat you. If
you are consistently honest, kind
consfderate. generous, unselfish in
your dealings with others, your
chances for a happy future amount
almost to certainty.
The reverse holds true if you are
habitually dishonest. churlish, incon-
siderate, niggardly and selfish. These
are traits that will poison men against
you, and leave you lonely and miser-
able in the years to come.
Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap" is no mere figure
of speech. Neither is the oriental
proverb:
He who has no care for the future,
Will soon have sorrow for the pres
ent."
Mend your todays, if they need
mending, and be quick about it. Thus
and thus only can you win for your
self splendid tomorrow.
