A Prayer to My Future Self

I hope you have truly lived…

A Prayer to My Future Self

First off, I pray that while you're reading this, you still remember the amazing things that have happened to you so far.

I hope you never forget the little things, like your first kiss, high school graduation, and lifelong friendships that you created. I pray that you have accomplished your goals, but never forget where you started. I pray that you have found joy in your work, your home, and your family. As the going gets tough, I also pray that you still have a strong faith, because without it, you wouldn't be anywhere.

As I am writing this, I have a vision for my future, and who I want to be in it. I pray the relationships that I have formed are still strong, and if not, I pray that you try to mend them with the people whom we truly know we love the most. I pray you have found a passion, a true dream, and a purpose for your life, just as I am praying for one now.

I pray you still have dreams, and never stop believing that anything is possible. I pray you have created a family, and love them more than you ever thought imaginable. I pray you still ask for advice from your parents, and still have a permanent place in their home. I pray you are a role model to others, and to yourself, through the good times, and the bad. I pray you never lose hope, because you are capable of anything.

Most of all, I pray for your happiness. I hope you are living a life that is meaningful towards you, and towards others. I hope you are compassionate, brave, and still as strong-willed as I am today. I pray that you still see the best in everyone and every situation, even if it is still your biggest downfall.

I truly pray that you love yourself, and stay true to who you are, because there is no one more deserving of a beautiful life, than you.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
