The Future is Here


You can argue that tomorrow is just another today but when the world is changing at its rapid pace, the future as we know it (or predicted) is here now.  Think about climate change, advancement in technology, space travel and artificial intelligence.  When you hear that Facebook buys Oculus Virtual Reality Goggles for $2 billion, or Google buys DeepMind an Artificial Intelligence startup, it's hard to deny reality.

I spend a lot of time speaking with individuals who are at cross-roads in their life - personally and professionally.  Usually an extreme circumstance forced them to make a tough decision, reactively instead of proactively.  They will confide in me where life went wrong or how they feel desperate for change.  As usual, only 10% of those people will do anything about it, and the other 90% will say, "I don't have time" or "Not right now."  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over while expecting different results.

Pay attention to small signs in your life,  and start believing that small gradual changes now will yield big results tomorrow.  You don't want to have the SAME problems a year from now, or worst, three years from now.  Whether you admit it or not, the future is upon us.  Ignoring your future is akin to ignoring Global Warming.  Either way, it's happening!
