# [[🔮 Mastering Personal Predictions]] #Psychology #Self_Awareness #Prediction Making accurate short and long-term predictions for yourself can be remarkably easy, straightforward, and potentially effortless. Perhaps not with a 100% probability, but still well above 80 percent. Why? Well, you are literally the one in the driver's seat and the one who has been driving. You know what has happened and what is happening. You know the road and your car. You know your patterns, and you definitely know how current-you behaves and how future-you will most likely behave. We are GREAT predictors and fortune tellers of our own future, we all have this superpower!! We might not know where the potholes are, or where the next gas station is, but we almost certainly have an idea what to expect along the road. BUT, there is a catch. When we don't like what we see, we often close our eyes, brace for impact, and convince ourselves that we don't know what's coming, and it comes any way. That, is also often a choice. ![[Mastering Personal Predictions.png]] > [!seealso] Related Thoughts > >- [[Humanity Has Changed, Humans Haven't]] >- [[Don't Judge Past Choices Using Present Knowledge]]
