2. Clues
from
the
Future
This
is
a
“right-­‐brained”
exercise
to
encourage
you
to
tap
into
the
intui;ve
part
of
your
nature
which
can
be
suppressed
by
all
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
daily
life.
For
this
exercise
to
be
successful,
give
yourself
some
space
and
allow
yourself
to
not
do
anything
right
now
besides
imagine
the
scene
and
the
conversa;on
as
we
go
through
it.
Of
course,
you
will
be
free
to
consider
the
insights
from
a
logical
point
of
view
aEerwards
(as
we
all
should).
In
the
mean;me,
try
not
to
prejudge
or
filter
the
experience
too
much.

thing
you

years
that

like
me
to
know?”
2. “In
what
ways
will
I
have
to
get
out
of
my
comfort
zone
in
order
to
succeed?”
3. “What
needs
to
be
released
or
let
go
of
in
order
for
me
to
accomplish
my
mission
as
I
see
it?”
4. “What
doesn’t
maXer
as
much
as
I
think
it
does?”
5. “What
one
piece
of
advice
do
you
have
for
me?”

there
anything
else
I

6. Reviewing
the
Clues
from
the
Future
Once
you
have
filled
in
the
worksheet
with
answers
provided
to
you
by
your
‘future’
self,
take
a
moment
to
look
at
what
you
have
said.
Is
there
anything
that
surprises
you?
Do
the
answers
provide
you
with
insight
into
your
values
and
goals
for
the
future?
While
it
isn’t
as
analy;cal
as
a
skills
inventory,
having
a
clear
vision
of
where
we
would
like
to
go
in
our
lives
offers
real
clues
into
how
best
to
define
our
personal
mission.
