"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." -Malcolm X
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could predict what will happen tomorrow and the next day? It would make your life more manageable because you could see things coming your way. A lowering of stress, a confidence through preparation, and, even some profit in where to invest your time and other resources before everyone else competes for the same things. It’s not just wishful thinking. You can be a futurist in your own life and I’ll explain how.
First, understand your life in more detail than you are doing today. Study your health, the society you live in, the trends in the news, and the way the economy moves as a result of what’s going on in the past decade or two. Yes, you need to study the past to get some data points for where the future is headed.
Second, read, listen and watch multiple experts in fields you want to better understand. Gather diverse opinions and notice how an expert may have changed or enhanced their opinion on a situation over time. There are clues to be used for your own future planning. Listening to multiple viewpoints from young and older experts in different fields ensures you are not listening to a one-sided conversation and blind-sided by events outside an echo chamber you may be living in.
Third, take small chances on your immediate future right now. It could be with small investments in a new technology, a new area of learning or, the purchase of something new to tinker with to see how it behaves. Dive in with practical knowledge and take control of your personal future by taking the time and spending some small sums of money to take a chance on something moving a certain way or having an outcome you did or did not predict. You have to actively be immersed in your own future path once the awareness and study are done so that you can literally feel the future unfolding in your own life.
With the 3 key ideas I explained, you are now armed and ready to start living as a futurist in your own life. Hopefully, you will discover better ways of living healthy, having more quality time, less stress about finances, have more connection with family and, more confidence that you can predict something about your future. Don’t delay, the future is just seconds away!
