Over my 73 years, I have come to discover I am not very good at foretelling the future.
So why is it I put so much credence into worrying about a future I cannot accurately predict?
That worry often stymies forward motion.
Yet, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
While I don't seem able to accurately foretell the future, it turns out that I am a reasonable navigator landing close enough to my intended target that the slight course deviations required for a successful outcome can be handled on the fly.
Why's this matter?
I think it is likely that most of us are better navigators than fortune tellers.
We imagine a future outcome, like how a piece of equipment's going to perform or how our system is going to sound, and then we move forward. If our expectations are to get close enough to make it work as opposed to hitting the bullseye, I'll bet we'd have a lot more confidence in trying something new.
Getting close to new and better is perhaps more profitable than never leaving home.
