So much time is spent looking forward and ahead on where you are going that all you ever see in your vision is that thing, or that place. It’s really easy to forget that there in the future is really here in the now.
To start building the future you need first to figure out what you’ve already got to build it with. Look all around you, look into the details that surround you. Try to separate the emotions from the observing. Just take an inventory of the place where you live – the assets of the town/community, the people you know and what they do for work or their special skills, the things you own. Write down this inventory. Think of what all this means. If you were a business (which you are actually) what is all this inventory worth? What could you make with all of these different ingredients- these people with their different strengths and locations, property and places, items? So many things just sitting around in your inventory wanting, waiting, and willing to be a part of something awesome. Look at this list you’ve created. You have a massive inventory and as a business you can only generate wealth (in all its forms) if you put this inventory to use. What may be stopping you from building the future is your lack of skill. But probably not. Most likely you’ve forgotten about your inventory.
