YOUR FUTURE
By II. Addington Bruce

TTAVE you given any thought to your
RI future? More especially, have you
given any thought to the vitality i'm
portant truth that, whatever your future IS
to be- you yourself are shaping it now?
The future never just happens. Under
stand that well. 1t is always a product OF
the past, of the DEEDS of the past.
You want, of course, to have bright
prosperous, happy, healthy future. Are you
building such future TODAY?
Take stock of your habits, your thinking
habits your working habits, your living
habits If they are good, your future will be
good barring accident or unavoidable dis
ease 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 certain amount of
leisure Do you regard it merely 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 peoples pockets, for
necessaries and for pleasures?
Bethink yourself of your pleasures. They
have an important, an all-impoTtant, bear
ing your future.
Are they constructive pleasures or de-
structive ones? You know very well what
l mean. If destructive, don't fool yourself
into thinking that you can dodge their in
evitable consequences.
1t may be fun now to go dissipating
night after night. But it won't seem so much
fun when looked back at from a future
of financial or physical mental wreckage.
And this is the kind of future that such
fun" always brings.
Then, too, consider our present attitude
toward your fellowmen.
AS you now are treating them, the future
is pretty sure to treat you If you are con-
sistently honest, kind, consideTatC, generous,
unselfsh in your dealings with others, your
chances for happy future amount almost
to certainty.
The reverse holds true if you are habit
ualy dishonest, churlish inconsiderate, mig
gardly and selfish These are traits that will
poison men against you, and leave you lonely
and miserable in the years to come.
Whatsoever = 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 present"
Mend your todays, if they need mending,
and be quick about it. Thus AM thus only
you win for yourself splendid ,omorrow.
