Would you believe me if I said I knew your future?

No?

Of course I do not know your struggles.

I have no magic or special ability.

No way to divine the weather by the future hour.

Certainly no way to influence my own future for a guaranteed better.

***

Would you believe me if I said I knew your past?

I know you have struggled greatly.

Tested your limits.

Gone beyond what you are comfortable with.

Failed and tried again.

I know beyond doubt that you have tried.

***

The now is the only thing that separates those challenges from the future.

You have survived.

Been through the worst and lived.

I know that willpower will carry you on in the future.

Handled to the best of your ability.

So, do you believe me when I know your future?
