To Make the Present and Future Shine

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to embrace your true self.

“Live for the present.”

You hear this phrase often, don't you?

But have you ever thought about it deeply?

The other day, after reading Ryoyan's article, I realized that this phrase is becoming increasingly important in this day and age.

N High School is a private correspondence high school, and it seems they conduct projects to expose students to various professions and expand their future possibilities. (Please read more about it here ↑)

Growing up in the Showa era, I never thought the day would come when schools would change this much.

What I used to hear at school was,

“Think carefully about your future.”

My friends and I all thought that going to a good university and joining a good company was the path to happiness.

However, nowadays, joining a large company doesn't guarantee security, and no matter how much you think about the future, we live in an era where we don't know what things will be like five years from now.

Of course, it is important to think about the future. However, I felt that if you think about it too much, you might lose sight of what you really want to do, and your excitement and thrill might diminish.

I believe that the reason we can live such convenient lives now is because someone thought, “I wish I had something like this,” “It would be convenient if I could do this,” or “Maybe it's possible.”

And they pursued that dream.

Even Doraemon's gadgets didn't just end up in the world of manga; there are several that have actually become usable. (Like the Translation Konjac, for example)

Feeling excited, feeling thrilled.

I think it's because they valued those feelings.

That's why I want to value what I feel is fun right now even more.

I want to do my best with what I can do now and make life interesting together with friends who dream of and aim for the future in the same way.

When children see adults like that,
they too will not be confined to a mold
and will feel they can give it a try.

Planning for the future is important, but
at the same time, it is also important to
cherish the present moment without letting it slip away.

I thought that was the reason why people say,
"Let's live by valuing the present."

Tomorrow, I will take on the challenge of a paid article!

I would like to talk about
"3 tips for building habits that anyone can do."

If you are interested,
I would be happy if you could read it.

Thank you for reading
until the end.
