            “The best way to predict your future is to create it”

Reflection: Our goals, our dreams, our choices are what come for us later in life. My dream is to go to USC and to become a writer. For now im just bettering myself in my writing but that is my dream. We start creating our future the moment we say what we want to do. Eventually you’ll work hard on it and it will become your future. Most people predict their weddings when they are so young and when they grow up they are married. They created their future. If you say you’re going to do something you do it. We create what we want in life. We cannot create our future on our own because well we did not create the things that happen to us in the future, at least not all. God has already created our future. We have to learn to declare stuff to our lives. We can declare good things because once you declare something you already have it. Our words have authority. The reason it is best to predict our future by creating it is because we do not just want to predict what’s going to happen and instead something totally different happens we want to create what’s going to happen as we grow up and as we live. Predictions are just what we think, but creating is something that will last forever.
