We are all on the cycle of becoming. The choices we make (or don’t), the words we use, the attitudes we embrace, all influence our trajectory.
It is impossible to know exactly who we will become. But we can increase the odds of making our desired future-self a possibility by creating a more robust illustration of the future we want.
Once we have this picture, we can work backward toward our present selves, asking meaningful questions to help us identify the key factors that will aid in bringing us closer to the life we want to live and the change we seek to make. Working backward from our set goal gives us the space to anticipate and plan for potential barriers that might hinder our trajectory.
All of this scenario planning takes work. And a whole lot of good can come out of it.
How can you leverage it to create the change you desire?
