The Best Way To Predict the Future is to Invent it

11/5/2015

That today is unlike yesterday and tomorrow will be unlike today is what causes the Babalawo to consult Ifá every four days. Most of our fears and anxieties are tied up in the future.  We worry about our children, our spouses, our jobs and our own health to the point that we sometimes run the risk of becoming paralyzed by fear. Every thought can turn into a downward spiral into doom and gloom once fear takes root. You will find yourself trapped in the same circular argument for years when fear has gained control.  When you're fearful, you will go to great lengths to avoid what seems like inevitable pain.

Personal Priesthood shows you the way out by enabling you to spend less time worrying about the future and devote more energy to actually creating it. Creating the future is a three-fold practice:
  1. Dream. Fantasize. Envision. Imagine. Identify three future scenarios that make you happy.
  2. Do not base your reality on what you see, hear, think or feel today.  Instead, make a plan around what you really and truly want and follow it.  Don't dump the baby with the bath water.
  3. Be consistent.  Run your plan under varying circumstances. This is how you test it and learn from it and make it stronger.
If you've been riding the emotional roller coaster, then you know that it only causes radical external changes and result in temporary relief, but eventually return you to your insecurities. Personal Priesthood is your very own operating system.  Through it, you can overcome fear of the future by inventing it yourself.
