Future Orientation
Successful people ponder the future and where they are going rather than about the past and where they have already been. That said, it is okay to dig into the past, especially with respect to your investing plan, you simply don’t want to live there.
Only about 10 percent of the people in our society are future-oriented. The combination of future orientation and short-term focus (the steps you need to take to move towards your long-term goals), will change your life!
There is a very simple test for future orientation. Ask yourself, “Where do you intend to be in 3 – 5 years?” If you can’t answer quickly, you have discovered whether you are future-oriented.
If you find that you are not with practice you can change your thinking and make this a habit.
