We need to BE. Just Be. Sometimes. That is so Cool when you are on the Plane of Being. It is like you get to enjoy it all the past the future and the NOW all at once. Does that sound a little weird.

I have had one "real job" in my adult life. Lasted about 9 months. Two months in, I'm talking with one of the other employees about a talk she had with her teenage daughter the night before. Seems the daughter couldn't wait to grow up and "get out on her own." The woman tells her, "you don't get it. After you get out of high school and have real responsibilities, you'll be looking back on these years as the best of your life. You'll wish you could go back for the rest of your life." I'm a live-and-let-live kinda person, but I couldn't hide the look of disgust that rushed over my face. Thinking about it still makes me feel a little ill. March on, here's to the future. Surprises, bumps, victories, and all. Great post.

Thinking about it still makes me feel a little ill.

March on, here’s to the future. Surprises, bumps, victories, and all.

I had teachers that I felt treated me wrong simply because I was shy, reserved, vulnerable kid. Heck, I STILL have some negative feelings towards them when I look back... but I've learned to let go a lot of it. I think being an online marketer and entrepreneur has helped me with that because I now consider myself a future-based person. I'm just excited about the possibilities now...

Thanks Yanik,

Found myself nodding along all the way through. As it happens, I was very thick into planning my 2009 when I felt a need for a break and saw this. Will now list my 2008 successes and smell the roses before continuing... :) You are so on the mark with the future-based person’s traits and traps. Found myself nodding along all the way through.

It's not funny actually, but I chuckle at how immature, childish and gullible I was. But as a grown up man, I can say I am a future-based person too. I leave behind all bad memories, keep the good ones and look forward to a brighter and greener pasture. Life is how you make it! When I think of my childhood, I can laugh.

This is a great post, the only problem I see with it is that many people are too busy chasing the future that they don’t count their blessings.

I was reading back a day or so how you’ve been having some work done on your knees because of sports injuries. I hope that works for you man ~ but the point I’m struggling to make here is that you still PLAY sports as well as doing Internet Marketing. That’s ‘cos you’re also present centred.

Don’t get me wrong, the past is past and long gone, and the pace of change is accelerating at a logarithmic rate so what works today won’t necessarily work tomorrow, although I suspect we both know what will.

Seth Godin wrote recently that it’s really impossible to predict the future from where we are.

Thanks for this forward thinking post. It got me to write something here at last.

Warm regards,

Stephen

But one trick I’ve learned is to enjoy the journey! I don’t think I will ever become satisfied with where I am - there’s always a bigger, better place over the horizon - but I can enjoy the process of getting there, and, as you say, celebrate those little victories every day.

I love how you blend your joy of parenting with the joys of building your business. Children have a way of anchoring us in the present yet at the same time skyrocketing us to the future.
