Gold Prospecting And Observation
I want to take a look at three phases of you, really all of us and discuss how we can possibly understand them to hopefully become more proficient at finding gold. The three phases of you are Past You, Present You and Future You. Each phase of you is equally important albeit in very different ways. To become better gold miners in the future we need to first understand Past You. But Past You is the least likely to influence Future You if Present You does not understand Future You.
Who is Past You? Past You is who determined who Present You is. Perhaps the lure of gold came from a book you read as a kid or maybe your dad or uncle took you gold prospecting and that lit the flame inside you for the hunt for the elusive yellow metal. During those influential events Past You, Present You and Future You were all inspired for this life long desire for gold. Past You took to the field, found that first nugget and learned how to better find gold. The result of those events is Present You. Past You is the foundation for Present You. But both Past You and Present You are the foundation for Future You. But Present You must change if Future You is to become a better prospector than both Past You and Present You.
Present You is who you are as you read this. Keep in mind Present You can be very determined but often makes promises or has aspirations that Future You can’t keep because Future You is often influenced and inspired by events that Present You can’t conceive because those events occur in the future. Think about all those New Year’s Resolutions Past You never kept or all those self promises to workout more. At the time Past You made those commitments Past You was determined to be a better Present You but Future You was not in agreement with either Past You or Present You.
Future You is the key to being a better prospector but is also the most subject to change no matter what Present You commits to today. Knowing Future You is the least likely to cooperate with Present You’s plans to be a better Future You (as we’ve historically shown regardless of how many calendars we buy or vows we take ) we have to accept the fact that as humans we over extend, over commit all with good intention of course. So we need to plan accordingly. Sure Future You can drive back to the good old spot Past You always visits and get the same results or something new can happen. Present You must outsmart Future You for both of your own good. You might do this by thinking abut thinking.
