But I think we should also plan for the future especially if we want to have a better future. The future will be real and will become the present. No one wants the future to become a bad present and a bad past with regrets.

Good post anyway. But I think as we live on, life is more complicated than what we think it is. The present is real, but what will become or determine what the present will be is the future. So, we do actually need to think about the future too. I guess, what you're saying is to enjoy the present. Then, I agree.
Thanks for reading and thank you for the comment. I would say that even if you're intending the future, you're doing it in the present. It's important that we remember this, then we can direct the future-present in any way we like. Becoming more aware of the present can only help this because you'll become more aware of the thoughts you are intending now. =)
