I guess many of us tend to ask ourselves, "How can I change my future?" or questions that emphasize on self capabilities for future success. I've decided to take another stand, with this new question today about "How would this change me?" instead.
The future as we know it, is often dynamic and uncertain so when life throws us a curveball, we do not always react in a all passive manner. So how can I change my future, would be highly fluctuating and the results are often not acceptable.
This new question of "How would this change me?" involve looking at the flip side of the hour glass. Think back, five to ten years ago, your personality, character, habits and emotions; and compare them with the today's you, and you would find that you have emerged as a different and much more matured person. We do not always know how we want to change our future, because unexpected incidents happen. And if you know how to change your future, you would do it even better since you have the power of foresight. But you don't.
We have this much of information and knowledge about our surroundings. And knowing that this incident is going to happen, why not ask yourself this question "How would this incident change me?". Perhaps in 3 months, 9 months or a year. By setting a time frame, you would be able to monitor your actualized change and at the same time, believe that progress has been made.
With this knowledge of how you will be changed, you will be able to know how you can change your future! That's through the learning of new skills, the past, networks and of course.. your true self.
