Talking to a friend of mine at my hockey game today I said to him "I Can Predict the Future.... Can You?" This comes from our conversation about life and where we are today in life. He was telling me that he was dealt a tough life and living paycheck to paycheck is the way life is for him. He said "I don't sell mansions like you do." He is 42 and waiting for his big break in life.

After telling him that "I Can Predict the Future.... Can You?" he say "No I can't and neither can you." I beg to differ..... We all can predict the future IF we were serious about it. I told him how to do it
THE ONLY WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT.
We talked about life and living everyday to the best of our ability. I asked him where he was in life with his wants, desires, goals and dreams. He pretty much told me that he lives day to day and takes what life gives him.
I don't understand how people live like that so I told him that he is EXACTLY where he is at today form his thoughts in the past. To get ahead in life you HAVE to have goals, dreams, desires and motivation and accountability. I can not believe that he told me that is to much work and sounds exhausting.
I told him that at first in might be due to the fact that we make our habits and then our habits make us. So it may be tough at first but that short time of toughness can and will change his life.
It's time to roll up his sleeves , get his s*&^ together and let's take responsibility for our lives.

We stopped talking to play our hockey game. We won, it was a tough game where it was getting alittle out or line physically between the two teams. He left the rink fast.
I hope he really is ready to "Get down to business" in life.
That goes for everyone. THE ONLY WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT. I did it and I'm still doing it. Are you?
