MEDITATION AND EXPECTATION...

Meditation is only for those that have anticipation. 
If we are not expecting, then there's no need to be reflecting on our steps/actions taken in the past that brought us to where we are today. 

Meditation is the act of acknowledging the fact that some steps taken toward things that happened to us in the past have brought us to our present situations and we have to take the right steps that will channel us to a greater future. 
It is the same mindset that we have today that will take us to where we will be in the future, so we need to have a positive mindset for a positive future. 

If only we can meditate on those times we had to sit for exams many times before we finally passed it and moved to the next class or when Parents would tell us not to do something but we would go ahead to do them until we got to that point when we realized how bad those things were, because we've grown older and now we know better...

It takes only a quiet and less busy mind to critically meditate and be committed to come up with a vigorous action plan on what to implement in making a better future. 

Here is a simply quote from myself that explains more about meditation and implementation of action plan: 
"We must dedicate to meditate before we communicate, and after then we have to formulate a plan that we must activate; so as to relate the result with what we intend to generate." ~ Temitayo Oyediran

And here is also a similar quote from a Ester Buchholz when she said: "Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers." 

It's not good to only focus on the future alone but to also meditate on those good/bad past, learn some vital lessons from there and device a plan that will prevent you from making the same mistakes of the past, while you embrace the skills or talents identified from your meditation on the past. 

Meditation is only done by the wise and for the wise.
