The future will one day be the present and will seem as unimportant as the present does now.

We have within ourselvesEnough to fill the present day with joy,And overspread the future years with hope.

Let anyone try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or to attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.

Consumers still remain optimistic about the future despite having some concerns about the present. This is very typical of a business cycle turning point,

We both agreed that we have to talk about the present and the future now.

The future is made of the same stuff as the present
