The biggest challenge over the next 6 months

An easy answer would be some individual problem, like health, loss, or work. The hard answer is – dealing with uncertainty without dwelling on the endless negative outcomes. I need my imagination to be helpful.

People have come to many ways to calm their fortune-telling never-ending internal narrator:

• Meditation. Whatever the future, focus on the present. Life is simple in the now. Ignore the past.
• Religion. If God will take care of all of us after all, why worry about the future? Study the very distant past.
• Psychology. Whatever the future, nobody can take away your past.
• Capitalism. Imagine this fantastic new car, don’t bother with the other things. Go shopping for dopamine highs.
• News. Be afraid, be very afraid. We will use your internal narrator to make you come back and buy things.

And so on. It is a long search.
