My Present is My Past

By Theodore R. Goyins, III


The history of each individual is created each day with each action. While speaking with my father and telling him about a very important dream and aspiration I had, he uttered something profound. I am not sure he was aware of the amount of impact this one brief statement would have on me. Since that day I have constantly reminded myself of this one phrase. It is one that guides each day's thoughts and each day's action. My father, Theodore R. Goyins Jr, looked at me after I finished telling him this big dream I wanted to go after and said, "Remember, you are creating your past now". In my young adult years I have learned to take the advice from my father with more of an attitude to accept it as philosophy for life. In essence he was saying that I am given twenty four hours to create the history of ME. It will be totally up to me to make daily decisions that will not negatively impact my aspirations for the future.
