Focus on the Future, Not Just the Present

Remind yourself repeatedly of this: we humans are hopelessly hypnotised by what’s immediately before us.

We place too much emphasis on the recent past, too little on the long term future.

To correct this tendency in us – spend less time reading today’s news and more time anticipating the future. Prepare for a world that is 2-3 years from today.

So, unless you’re a frontline medical worker – focus less on Covid cases, vaccination rates and virus variants. Focus more on the boom in energy, travel and opportunity that will occur in 2-3 years’ time.

Look past the fog of today. It will soon dissipate.

Build now for the sunlit future.
