What-is has no bearing on what is coming unless you are
continually regurgitating the story of what is. By thinking and
speaking more of how you really want your life to be, you allow
what you are currently living to be the jumping-off place for so
much more. But if you speak predominantly of what-is, then you
still jump off but you jump off into more of the same1
.
In other words, the present is not an indicator of the future.
