The future is always connected with the present and the past. The past is beyond control and the present is just a gift, a gift to live in the present.  

The past is something which has gone just like water, which once flowed, has flowed. It will not come back.  

The past helps us to discover what wrongs we have done in the past and helps us in creating an ideal life for the future. From the past we learn the lessons. For example, when we lose, we should not lose the great lessons .We should approach our past as a tool for creating an ideal life as we are stuffed with lot of experiences and knowledge.  

If we ignore the past or we want to run away from it then we will accomplish the same mistakes. The past is the foundation of future, our successes and relationships.  

Success will come to those who are willing to come out of their comfort zone and who are willing to undertake various challenges. Challenges are ways to check yourself, your adaptability and your compatibility.  

For creating an ideal life, we should have commitment to serve others. Commitment means we have to tie ourselves emotionally, intellectually and physically towards our goal. We are then generous with our personal gains.  

We will help others to achieve their goals and ultimately by doing so we will become successful. You will receive the same as you will give to others. So contribute more to society and society will contribute more towards your success.  

The creation of a magnificent life includes learning and growth. We have to develop a unique learning environment. Learning is required to multiply our choices and learning is a persuasive function. As long as we live, we are learning, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. Learning ends with life.  

To be great we are required to act greatly. Acting greatly requires having high standards.  

Lastly, I feel for continuous success and an ideal life, gratitude is a must. Once it becomes part of our lives, we will always be connected with joy, peace and prosperity.
