You have the instinctive ability to create vivid pictures of a positive, more functional, future reality in any given moment.

You consistently bring an optimistic view of the future into everything you are doing. You ensure that you and everyone else focuses on what could be rather than what is. You can inspire others to make their dreams a reality. You push everyone around you to dream big.

You create possibility and in doing so, enable people to move beyond the nature of their current reality and to lift up their heads. You create hope.

To spend time thinking about and envisioning a better tomorrow;

new ways that make the world a better place;

having an explicit picture of what my future should look like.

Are positive, energetic and creative people who have a powerful sense of tomorrow.

Being pessimistic;

losing hope;

enjoying any form of repetition;

being able to focus for any length of time if the content does not interest me.

I feel stuck in my current reality so that I cannot bring about the future I see;

I have to do the same thing over and over again;

when I have to work on stuff I don't enjoy.

Being a 'daydreamer', unrealistic or idealistic, naive and lacking attention to detail.

Give me a creative role in which I can actively design a future reality for someone else.

I thrive on having time to talk with other creative, visionary people.

Give me a space in which I can actively communicate to others what I see.

You are fascinated by the future, and you usually see the future positively.

You can see in detail what the future might hold.

You can energize yourself and others by your vision of what could be. You can clearly see possibilities.

Others may dismiss you as a dreamer.

You might become frustrated by present circumstances and discouraged by highly pragmatic people who can’t or won’t see the possible future that is so clear to you.

Take time to envision the future. Anticipate and imagine what could and should be.

Your natural anticipation of a better tomorrow enables you to overlook the pain and problems of today. Help others anticipate and imagine their futures as well.

Carve out time every week to put your ideas for the future in writing. You will clarify your visions for yourself and your team.

Motivate your colleagues with things that can be done in the future. For example, include some futuristic ideas in each of your group meetings, or write your vision for the future and share it with your colleagues.

Find a friend or colleague who possesses this theme. Set aside an hour a month for 'future' discussions. Together you can push each other to include more creativity and detail.

When you have an opportunity to describe your vision of the future, use as much detail as possible, because not everyone can intuitively fill in the gaps like you can.

Your biggest challenge lies in the ability to translate your vision into action. If people do not see action, they will become cynical of what you show them and you will lose your creative ability. Be careful too that your vision is not set too firmly but can adapt with the inevitability of life.

Watch out for:

Creating an alternative reality to escape into in your head simply because your current one is too hard or complicated.

When would your vision of the future be considered naive or unattainable?
