There is no right answer. Not to a question that requires A FUTURISTIC ANSWER. You know what a futuristic answer is, an answer that attempts to predict the future. Predicting the future is purely guess work. No one knows the future. NO ONE!!!!! What ever tools are used to predict the future (Read past experiences) have absolutely nothing with the future results. They are the tools, or sometimes excuses; we use to produce the same old results. Believe me Wall Street spends Billions on figuring out the future and they are failing miserably at it. If anyone could predict the future or KNOW the future outcome of any thing, they would literally rule the world.
So why do you conduct your life as if you know the future?
In a conversation about WHAT YOU COULD PERSONALLY ACCOMPLISH, the future should have no relation to the past. I hope you are beginning to see that the conversations about your future are all guess work. If you are going to guess the future why not guess something great for yourself. I mean it is all made up anyway. So let your UNREASONABLE self handle the guessing. If you really knew the future, if you were even occasionally right, you would be living a dramatically different life.
And if you (and I) would keep our results from the past from infiltrating our commitments to our future, we could start to harness the power of responsibility, of authorship of our lives, our work, and our world. We think our predications are reasonable and accurate, so life shows up pretty much how our reasonable minds say it should
Much has been studied and written about the power of your internal conversations on your subconscious. An equal amount has also been discovered about the power your subconscious has on the outcomes of our endeavors. But before we talk about dissecting the deep areas of your mind, we can be responsible for the conscious thoughts and choices that run our daily lives. Let the voice that speaks the loudest in your head be the one that sees the future as a space of infinite possibility.

Everywhere I look in business today I see mediocre. Service is weak. Products are average. Political correctness has watered down our opinions so much they are unrecognizable as a unique point of view. Consequently we live in a very predictable and vanilla world. Sure you could argue that predictable is safe and comfortable. That could also be the definition of boring. Where is the mystery in predictable results? Since when does safe and comfortable get your blood flowing?
The sad truth is nothing ever changes in the land of predictable. Every action, every manipulation has a predictably “known” outcome. None of this is a problem if where you are right now is where you want to stay. For those of you who are in this place, please remain calm and enjoy your reasonable life. Everyone else follow me!!!!!
I say it is time to drop reasonableness from your program. An adventure is any journey where you leave predictable behind. It is time for you and me to become unreasonable. And while we are at we may as well be exceptionally unpredictably unreasonable. This is the secret to being the author of your life instead of a third party. To have things turn out the way you choose versus the way reasonable people say it should.
No miracle has ever been born of a reasonable thought. Civil rights for blacks in America was not a reasonable undertaking in the 60’s. Thank you MLK and Rosa Parks for being so daring. Delivering a package overnight was extremely unreasonable thinking. Thank you to the courageous people at FEDEX who went where others before did not. Do you think they faced adversity? Do you think they were ever uncomfortable? Consider that the most widely used and appreciated tools in your every day life were born in unreasonable and survived uncomfortable.
Great results are born from a single unreasonable thought. You may ask yourself “Can I be the Top producer in my field?” And the Intellectual you says, “of course”. But the Reasonable you says, “Lets not get crazy here”. Now if you would crank up the volume on your unreasonable voice, it would seize the opportunity to be heard. And the rest of the world just might stop and listen. Your voice will demand results, unpredictable, unreasonable, and maybe even a little uncomfortable.
