The Past is Dead - Embrace the Imminent
by Estellise Azimi


The past is dead. It has already happened, and no amount of wishing or dreaming can change what has come before. However, we can learn from the past and use that knowledge to inform our present and shape our future.

The key to this understanding is the concept of the imminent. The imminent is the state of being about to happen, the future that is just on the horizon. It is the next moment, the next breath, the next step. And it is through the imminent that we can best understand the consequences of the past and how to shape the future.

Too often, we are trapped by the weight of the past, by our memories and our regrets. We are weighed down by the mistakes we have made and the opportunities we have missed. We are so focused on what has come before that we fail to see what is right in front of us, the opportunities that are waiting to be seized.

But if we focus instead on the imminent, on what is about to happen, we can see the future more clearly. We can see the patterns and the rhythms that are shaping the world around us. We can see the opportunities that are waiting to be seized, and the challenges that we must face.

The key to understanding the imminent is to let go of the past. We must learn from it, certainly, but we must not be weighed down by it. We must be open to the future, to the possibilities that are waiting to be explored.

For those who seek to influence the imminent, the future is bright. They are the ones who will shape the world, and create new opportunities and new possibilities. They are the ones who will make a difference, who will change the world.

So let us embrace the imminent, let us leave the past behind and look forward to the future. For it is in the imminent that the world is truly alive, and it is through the imminent that we can create a better tomorrow.
