FORWARD THINKING TOWARD A
BRILLIANT FUTURE

It's your choice.
Design the future you want.
Or, settle for what you end up with.

"Onward & Upward—the only two directions that really matter."

— PJ Wade in "If I Knew Now What I'll Know Then!"

Do you believe that you'll achieve the future of your dreams if you just hope hard enough? Of course you don't, but how do you believe you will get there?

• Do days go by without time for more than a few fleeting thoughts or concerns about the future?


• Too many people never consider possibiliites beyond what they have seen happen to others. Do you want the same future as your parents or grandparents?

Study after study has revealed that North Americans are not planners and most are not pro-active about their future. Too many people wander toward the future with a "hope it turns out alright" attitude, resigned to accept what awaits them. Forward Thinking can expand your horizons and put you in charge of today, so that your tomorrow is full of possibilities that you welcome instead of dread.

PJ: "Forward Thinking has three enemies: procrastination, impatience and apathy. Why let hindsight reveal how much of your life these three negatives have wasted, when Forward Thinking positively doesn't waste time on any of them?"

PJ’s speeches and writing do not promote a "follow-the-leader" approach, but encourage self-leadership by providing insight into how to determine where you're stuck in the past, and how to employ your individual strengths and advantages to propel you forward toward a billiant future—from any starting point.

Elements of Forward Thinking Each article in the selection below reveals essential elements in investigating your choices, in the context of a specific decision. Become aware how various aspects of life influence you, your thinking and your decision making, and you'll begin to understand how you can set the stage for the fresh thoughts and clear analysis whenever necessary. That's forward thinking at its best. "ADVICE is only as good as the receiver is receptive. If you approach a professional advisor with an 'all I need to know’ imperative, you may find their restricted response to your precise inquiries provides solid stepping stones for navigating those specific rocky waters. If you allow professional advisors do what they’re trained to accomplish, permit them to apply their full knowledge and skill to your situation, good advisors may end up building a bridge of good advice to a future you hadn’t even dared dream about." "HOME means more, and can contribute more, to your future than ever before." "PLACE influences our thinking, whether we are aware of its potency or not. That’s why, on one extreme, a change of scene can be a powerful renewal experience and, on the other, it seems to deepen the rut we live in." © Copyright 2008 PJ Wade, The Catalyst.
