Three Things To Start Now To Be Future Ready.

The future is filled with things not yet known, and in as much as we have a natural aversion to uncertainties, the future is one uncertainty source we can’t keep away from. We are constantly moving towards it.

However, for you to achieve great success it is important you prepare for what’s to come, so as not to approach each day with uncertainty and bewilderment. And to prepare, you need to have control over your future, as without it you’d quickly get lost in the myriad of events life will keep throwing your way.

Life’s puzzles will eventually connect even if you choose to not exert control over it and use it to craft yourself a future. Where the issue lies is in what the big pictures will turn out to be; your story, or that of another?

Knowing how to prepare for the future relieves you of the pain of approaching old age with regrets, of having not made the most use of your years, having lived below your potentials, or having not lived your own story.

It is also crucial that you plan purposefully and execute purposefully. If you don’t plan, you risk not executing, and by not executing you’ve laid a foundation for your own failure.

There are three things you need if you must prepare for the future. The first and second are mindset related, while the third is action oriented. These three are fundamentals, every other guideline out there on how to be future ready flows from them. They include:

  1. Creating the future.
  2. Knowing you only have 'now' as a tool.
  3. Being intentional.

1. Creating The Future:

"The best way to predict the future is to create it" —Abraham Lincoln.

Being the architect of your tomorrow gives you control of every detail regarding it, making is easy for you to navigate your way into and through it.

Life is constantly happening, and as it does it’ll continually throw many uncertain, unrelated events your way, but unless you proactively engage them you’d be met with things not bargained for, a future below your wildest dreams.

If you don’t take the position of the creator over your future other things will. Tomorrow can’t remain void or uncreated, it comes fully packed, and being the creator puts you in the position to determined what it will be filled with.

"Things are created twice. First in the imagination, and then in reality" —Steven Covey.

Your future will comprise of the person you will be which you’re not yet, and the things you will be doing which you’re not doing yet, or which you will be doing better. And as a result, creating your future will begin when you have a mental blueprint of the person you want to be and what you’d be doing.

Be certain that you’d be forced to believe many things you’re not and be made to do things your heart doesn’t beat for, but ensuring you get and stay in touch with the inner you is your rescue. When this takes place, it will extrapolate into actions, into habits and thinking patterns that will constantly reinforce your personality.

And by living out your personality each day, you exert control over yourself, and you proactively act towards other external things. This form of control will determine your career choices, the business you start; it will determine the relationships you go into, and even the circle you belong to.

When you have rule over these, it will ensure that the future you’ve created in your imagination is brought to reality. You’ll be shaping a future fashioned in line with your deepest convictions. A future that you can call yours, because you’ll be creating it.

2. Know You Only Have ‘Now' As A Tool.

This is the second thing to know to be future ready. After you’ve known to create your future, the next thing is to known when to start.

Today was the future of yesterday and the things you have now in the present came as a result of your yesterday choices; also, everything that tomorrow (the next future after today) will become, is decided today. If you desire a future, the only time you have to actually take control and create it is now, at this very moment, not the next.

We usually fail to understand the essence of now. The minute after you read this sentence, it’s gone, and will keep fading into the past infinitively, you can’t have it back again to relish it. The future on the other hand is vague and filled with dots yet to be connected, but the present is the game changer.

The now fades into the past, but it equally shape the future, it is the middle-man between your past and your future. When you take charge of it, it gives you reasons to smile both when you look back or ahead of your life, as what’s behind will be worth remembering and what’s ahead will provide energy and enthusiasm to keep going.

3. Be Intentional:

After you’ve known to create your future and when to start, it’s time you get on to the how of actually getting to do it. Regardless of how big or outlandish your created future looks, you only need to take small, necessary steps, at the moment and you’re on course towards making it a reality. You need to be intentional.

You cannot create a future and then refuse to actively walk towards it, and still expect to get there. No, intentional action is vital, it is what brings your creation to reality.

It is intentionality that makes you keep on your track until you get to the finish line. It focuses your attention and energy on the things that matter most to your desired future, and it also starve the unimportant things of attention.

When you are intentional you’re not just busy, as everybody is in our day and time is, but selectively so, going for the best and leaving out the good. When you’re intentional you judge things based on whether they are best for the future your pursuing or not.

Every move matter, every step taken, every word said and thought harboured are pieces of your grand puzzle, intentionality ensures you engage the required pizzle piece, leaving out those that won't be a part of your big picture. Chose the right piece and you will be building your future every step of the way.

Conclusion:

You have what it takes to create the future you desire. There’s none in so superior a position to do that for you; it’s your job.

Let this realization prompt you to know, not just that you can create the future you desire, but also when it’s best to start creating, which is now. Don’t leave it for later. The future starts today, so get on and be intentional about living your highest, about ensuring that your acts, words, and thoughts are geared towards achieving the future you desire.
