Looking at things this way
Many people wish to secure their destination in the future now. But the future is not here yet; that is why it is the future. It is amazing the extent to which we deceive ourselves, stretching ourselves to all sorts of territories and situations that are purely imaginary. It is as though the whole future is planned, and a planned time has been stretched all the way back from the present moment and all the way forward from the present moment. Then everything is overcrowded.
Looking at things this way, we manage to get ourselves into a great deal of paranoia and panic. But if one really sees the present situation as it is, it is always a quite simple one. Some people have noted that they have a little gossip narrator in their heads going on all the time, the person or the voice that is sort of writing the script of their lives. People may feel that this omnipresent script seems to keep the future closed rather than permitting it to be open. However, actually and strangely enough, nobody writes the script at all. It just mysteriously happens. – Chögyam Trungpa, The Future is Open: Good Karma, Bad Karma, and beyond Karma
