After looking back over the past year and the turbulent few weeks, I am actually firmly planting my feet on the ground and saying slow down to myself and the world around me so that I can think forward about my next moves forward... Ok that may sound confusing however, I can explain.
I understand that in order for me to think forward - about the next moves I will make, I need to be a forward thinker. So you think you already know how to do that, I beg to differ, I thought so too.
I beleived that I was a forward thinker in all aspects of my life and for the most part that is true of me and it is of you - most of us are constantly thinking in the future - we are here and now doing things, planning things and thinking about what we must do tomorrow and beyond and not really ever living in the moment.
That, I thought was forward thinking at its best - my badge of honour - always thinking ahead for what I needed to accomplish, being prepared for tomorrow and setting myself up for success.... hmmm something got lost in the translation here...
In my opinion, true forward thinking is having the fortitude to slow down and plan for what you want to have happening in the future.... not spending your time doing everything today for the future but rather taking stock of what you want to achieve and setting a plan or a map in place that will lay out the way to get it and then going to work today on what must be accomplished today to get closer to the prize.
We must be the best at forward thinking in order to Think Forward in my opinion...... once we have planned our map out, the way we are going to work strategically towards our goals we can now focus on thinking forward to that goal becoming a reality.
Thinking forward with a plan in place allows us the time to really focus on the goal and the reason you are on this road in the first place.
My time is wisely spent these days, on Forward Thinking so I may think Forward!
enjoy!
