PRESSING FAST FORWARD IN THE MOVIE CALLED: LIFE

We all have been there before when we pressed fast forward in a movie to see the final outcome. Sometimes we did it out of boredom while other times out of anticipation. In our lives, we need to have the ability to play the movie, our LIFE, out in our heads before making decisions or next moves.

I have a friend who constantly looks for answers to several moments in their life. I simply tell them to, "play the movie out in your head," to get a glimpse of the big picture.

Here's how to play the movie forward:

1. Consider every alternative.

2. Keep asking what-if.

3. Imagine your life after each decision made.

Using this imagery will help you make better decisions and understand how certain events will impact the other. And remember, practice makes progress.
