In light of our future hopes and dreams ... have you wondered why you want something? Our desires, which can best be described as cravings and longings, arise out of past experiences. Since you have never experienced "the future" (unless you are Marty McFly), every moment preceding the current moment (present) has created remnants of memories, accumulations of responses, physiological patterns and a microbial footprint. This massive accumulation impacts your present state and desires for future experiences. For example, after meeting someone - you find yourself thinking about them, wanting and hoping to interact with them again. It's typical, short of obsessing, that imagine how the encounter might start - progress - and conclude. The cognitive rehearsal in the present moment directs you to pursuing a future reality.
Behavior patterns, emotional response patterns, habits are all the accumulation of thinking, feeling and doing something repeatedly with little consideration. It takes energy to be mindful of the reality that you are being reactive rather than elective. By elective, I mean that you deliberately consider the reason for your state and the potential outcome - produced results. Results are consequences from your actions. When you pause to examine your state - evaluate your desires - and respond consistently, you change and become increasingly powerful.
