Create Your Own Future is a book written by Brian Tracy. It was first published by Wiley (1st edition) on August 16, 2002.
Today I want to talk a bit about the book, what it has meant to me and what it can do for you.
First of all the title alone is extremely powerful. It contains several lessons. Here are a few observations:
- “Create” is defined as bring into existence. It’s a verb. An action. It implies doing something. And create also infers that you can create. Alternatively, the title could have (I think) just as successfully been “How to Create Your Own Future” – that may be just the copywriter marketer in me, but…
- “Your Own” clearly makes this personal and unique to YOU. No one else can define or describe anything that is your own. Its’ highly individual.
- “Future” – definition: the time or a period of time following the moment of speaking or writing; time regarded as still to come. This speaks directly to what has yet to come. It also infers not being bound by the past or present.
The title as a whole is, can, and should be a powerful motivator in and of itself.
What Brain did in the book is support the big promise of the title with the corresponding laws and principles, proving that you can in fact “Create Your Own Future.”
In my own life, reading this book marked a turning point. I clearly remember reading the book, following what Brian recommends in it, and the subsequent improvements in my life. The most notable changes were in my career and income.
What the book can do for you is open you up to the idea that you are the author and creator of your life.
You can, at this very moment, make a decision to create your own future. You need to follow this decision up with a plan of action and implementation if you want to realize that future. But the key is in understanding that you can create your own future.
It’s worth a few bucks at Amazon to read, study and implement this book.
Hey, it’s your future. It’s worth it. You are worth it.
Why not start today?
What vision and version of the future do you want to live?
