BACK FROM THE FUTURE

I have just touched down from my first visit back from Singapore and as they are 8 hours ahead of the UK, I am have the déjà vu experience of regaining those 8 hours. We have all seen the Sci-Fi movies when the hero revisits the past, having seen the future and changes some event to avoid a calamity. This got me thinking about changing the future, because, of course, we are all laying the foundations for our futures with every choice we make now. Do we eat that cream cake or go on the diet, do we pick up the phone or let the argument linger etc. etc.

Nothing too profound in those ideas, but the fact is we all busy, many of us would claim to be “too busy” to do the very things we need to do, so we mortgage our futures and ensure we will waste much more time and energy trying to rectify these oversights and mistakes. If you are happy and healthy now then chances are that you are making some good decisions, but if you aren’t, then now is the time to choose a different future by acting NOW.. .because one thing is for sure, if you don’t make any different choices today, tomorrow will be that same… again!

It is exactly the same for businesses, if you are enjoying success, great, but what seeds are you planting for tomorrow’s harvest? If it is a little tough right now, then you need to be changing things, now. This applies to people, strategies, investments, the whole kit and kibuddle! Taking the time and making the choices is the key to a happy future… Good Luck!

 

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” Anais Nin
