Predicting your future is easy. Sure, there are some aspects of the future that are impossible to know, and everyone gets surprised by life sometimes, but for the most part life is highly predictable. Would you like me to predict your future? I would rather teach you how to predict your own.

Tell me four things:

What do you spend more time thinking about than anything else?

Describe the character of the five people you spend most time with.

What books do you plan to read in the next 12 months?

What are your habits, the things you do every day?

Answer these and you can predict your future, because what we think about always increases in our life. Sooner or later, we all rise or fall to the level of our friendships. We become the books we read. And our habits shape our destiny.

If you don’t like what you see when you look into the future, change these four things.
