Facebook Status Updates for the year 2017

So this is the second blog inspired from the book 642 Things to Write About. The Book asked me to write my Facebook Status Updates for the year 2017.

Well let me first start by saying, I hope that the world has moved on from Facebook by 2017. But if it hasn’t here are some random, crazy or possibly true status updates that I think could be somewhat remotely possible in that year which is only 5 years away.

1. Happy Birthday Twin!!! (purely predictable)

2. I can’t believe they picked me…

3. Guess what, someone might be adding to the population…(purely reliant on the future husband for this one but am in no rush)

4. Just came back from an awesome trip, LOVED IT (an overseas business class holiday which was     random)

5. Cancer cured…THANK GOD! Literally

6. World Peace…I miss you (we can pray for this one in advance)

9. Congrats Babe…YOU DID IT!!! ( the launch of my sisters future fashion line)

10. Just bought the new Apple_________. To think the iPad is out of date already…who would have thought.

11. Just bought a house in ______. Loving it!

Its scary when you think of 5 years away. Ive actually never thought that far in advance. But ironically I have read my journal which is over 5 years old and found that a lot of the stuff I wrote about or predicted has actually come to pass. 

A little lesson I guess you could learn from this exercise is that there is power in the tongue. Im not going to say ‘Beware what you wish for’ because I am one of those people that hope you get totally freaked out by the amazing things that can happen in your world if you dare to believe it. But what I will say is that if you aren’t thinking about your future while you are still living for today, maybe you should do something about that. You could be missing out on celebrating so many moments all because you couldn’t be bothered planning before hand.

Of course there are some things that you can’t predict, plan or even dream of that far in advance but do what you can do today, plan for what you can plan for and work for what you can work for in preparation for tomorrow. If you are anything like me, you are absolutely bound to stuff up, get lazy, procrastinate or just get stopped in your tracks by circumstance or sometimes pure selfishness. But as I am constantly reminded, everyday is a new beginning. Start afresh.

Don’t wait for Facebook to inform you about the world you live in or ‘Like’ where you are at in life to make you feel good. You be the walking Face of the book that maybe one day will be written about you which you hope will list the status that says “She/He was a winner. I want be just like Her/Him”.

Preaching to myself but sharing the love with you.
