What would you like “the future” to be like? Or, as Tom likes to put it: What “the future” do you want?

“Today, neither past nor present, but the future has become the key to y’our health and wellbeing and the wellbeing of our planet on which we depend.”

We are living in a fast-changing and ever more complex and ambiguous world. A world that is trying to cope and navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating effects of climate change. At the same time, every aspect of y’our life is being influenced by automation, robotisation, datafication, and so many other changes and challenges due to technological advances that have outpaced our own evolution.
How will we cope with all these changes and challenges in an environment that is evolving faster than we are? How will we cope with ever-increasing stress levels while the reactive ‘fight and flight’ based stress response has become outdated and even become a stressor itself as it tampers with behaviour and our time perception?

How will YOU cope?

Today in the midst of turmoil where short-term pressures are up against medium- and long-term uncertainties, humanity is at a decisive moment. Will you wait until it is too late with y’our health, wellbeing and very existence at stake, or will you futurize yourself and adopt a futures mindset. A mindset where you start living on purpose instead of leaving life, and your future, up to chance by creating vivid and realistic images of your preferred future - based on self-defined unwavering principles - and using them as a starting point to change your behaviour in the present – a process and mindset that contributes to better, more meaningful living and a GREAT future for y’ourself.

What will happen if you don't Futurize Y'ourself?

"Don’t wait till it's too late - to "Futurize Y'ourself" - for y’our future is at stake."
Y'our actions matter even if more people are involved.

We all influence the outcome.

What, the future?!

It’s time to believe that your individual decisions, choices and actions matter and that you
act like y’our future and the future of the future depends on it.

The Good FUTURE

The future is not something that just happens to us - it is something we create every single day, by action or by inaction. Whether the future is good or bad is entirely up to us. As we see the future, so we act, as we act so we become! 

(Gerd Leonhard, Futurist and author of Technology vs Humanity)

The Resilient FUTURE

The future is an elusive abstraction we almost don’t believe in; looking straight at it requires us to confront our fears and anxieties, the possibility of misfortune, and the fact of our mortality. -

(Vincent Ialenti, anthropologist and author of Deep Time Reckoning)

The EVOLVABLE FUTURE

Evolve and do it yourself.
(Nature is too slow)
