Show a short story about making a change and what you want for 2030 by using any of the storytelling tools: Imagine for a moment that you wake up 10 years from now. Where do you live, where do you work, where do you learn. Who are the people that are in your future? How are people living in that future? When, at which moment from the day are they using the new technology? Is it when they wake up? Or when they commute to work? Do they still work or is there something like a basic income? What are their emotions? Why are they doing what they do?
﻿
In this future thinking story make sure that you think big and that you set your own goals. Turn your goal into a positive obsession! In other words, do you find something super interesting? Then use this to achieve your dream. Because if you want to maintain what you want to achieve, it helps if you become extremely enthusiastic about it and are happy to work on it. What makes you extremely excited? Feel free to dream away and imagine what you would like to be able to do in 2030. 
﻿
After creating this story… Start now with your path towards that future! Waiting until tomorrow won't help anyone. Even a small step brings you closer to your goal. 2030 still seems far away, but it is getting closer every hour. What is the step you are going to take today to be where you want to be by 2030?
