Mistrusting the Future makes it very hard to give up the past (+the present). Futurist Gerd Leonhard

In this short video I address a key challenge that often surfaces in my work with clients: the fear of the future, and a general hunch that we "can't trust the future" i.e. that nothing good will come of it, and that there is very little we can do about it. And of course, humans are usually evil and will act in bad faith.

Few things could be more misguided - the future is better than we think!
The future is created by optimists.
The future is not utopia or dystopia - it's #protopia (a slow march towards a better future) *Kevin Kelly
#thefuture is NOT just an extension of the present
The future is already here - we just haven't paid enough attention yet
The future is not something that just falls down on us - it's something we make (by action or by inaction)
As you see the future, so you act - as you act so you become (Barbara Hubbard).
