It doesn't matter where you came from, what's happened to you or what you've done so far. While those things may carry some interest and perhaps even some value, they are not that important. The important things are your thoughts and your actions.

For your thoughts and your actions - You have the present...perhaps just brief moments left...perhaps numerous years. 

For your thoughts and your actions - You have no guarantees for your future. You cannot rewrite your past. You only have your present and your ability to think and act. 

For your thoughts and your actions - You have choices: choices about the thoughts you think and choices about the actions you take. 

You can choose to direct your thoughts and actions toward goals and improvement. There's no guarantee for your future - regardless, you can have dreams, goals and aspirations. And, you can choose to think and act in ways that align with your dreams, goals, and aspirations. 

***

Expect nothing from 'Fate', 'Destiny', the 'Law of Compensation' or the 'Law of Attraction'. Don't expect 'Abundance'. Don't place faith in 'Positive Mental Attitude'. 

Instead -

1. Know what you value and desire.
2. Believe your thoughts and actions have a level of influence over your outcomes.
3. Take [some] comfort in the common sense embedded in thinking and acting in ways that align with your values and goals.
