Our futures are now

img_8529

What we do right now in life is building and determining our futures. Every action we do this moment will be shaping our future. What we say, what we eat, who we talk to, the blog we post, the video we make, the song we sing. Equally what we choose not to do is shaping the future too.

Each step, each small building block, each tiny change, each action that we take now will be shaping our future. Small steps to a different life.

What we plan to do next week doesn’t matter.

Plan for now not tomorrow. We spend endless amounts of energy planning for something that might not happen. Instead of doing something now that will actually make a difference to the future.

Now determines the past and determines the future it is the only thing we can alter.

If you want a better future, then act right now, take a step towards it.

Now is our future and all that matters.

Don’t build widgets

Don’t build widgets.

Was a car built to go from a to b? After all, humans had been able to do that by foot and horse for thousands of years

It was built to create opportunity that fast and independent travel could give individuals. The opportunity to have freedom.

If you create for functional reasons at best it will be just that.

There is already a mass of average functional low-value stuff, so no point in creating more.

People buy and keep buying creations that touch their emotion. Something that stands out and makes a difference.

Think about the cause, the passion, the mission not the function, even if you’re in the widget business.
