“The biggest misconception in life is "That we all think we create the future, we work to shape our future, whereas the fact is, we only create the past. Whatever we choose to do now will only become past, will only become history and That's the only thing in our control.

We don't create a future but we do craft our past. The future does not exist and it will never be, the only truth of our existence is our past.

So look back at what you've created and work now for what you want to see when you look back!!”
