You wrote . . .
Now you're changing "what happens" to emotional feelings. "Planning for the future" is the future affecting your decisions in the present.
"What happens" in the past and the future can affect emotions, also. I still get upset thinking about my brother being killed in a head on collision in 2012. Last year I had to recertify my boards and I was very anxious about passing while studying in April for a test I was scheduled to take in December.
But, now I'm sorry I even brought this crap up. (Ooh, I guess the past is affecting how I feel in the present. Strange.)
Planning for the future is the action that is caused by your present knowledge of knowing that if you don't you will more than likely be screwed.
The future doesn't exist yet, therefore it can't be the cause of any action you take today. Once new information is known, you can then adjust your actions accordingly.
