Probable Almost Certain Future

In The Landmark Forum and The Landmark Advanced Course they introduced the idea of The Probable Almost Certain Future. Most people tend to repeat the same situations in their lives over and over again. They date the same kind of person. They find the same kind of job. They always have the same problems. This is the basic meaning of The Probable Almost Certain Future. The Probable Almost Certain Future is the continuation of what currently is.

Along your path of personal growth and self improvement, you will want to examine your Probable Almost Certain Future. You can look at different areas of your life such as relationships, money, family and career. If you continue down the same path that you have been living, what is the Probable Almost Certain Future for each of those areas? If you’re like most people, your Probable Almost Certain Future isn’t much different from the life that you are living at this very moment.

As an example, my Probable Almost Certain Future around money is that I will continue to not have anything beyond my bare necessities. I will complain about not having enough money, but nothing will really change.

Once you have acknowledged your Probable Almost Certain Future, then you can begin to do something about it. In order to alter your Probable Almost Certain Future, you need to make a drastic change. If you have a poor relationship with your Mother and you want to change your Probable Almost Certain Future around that relationship, you are going to have to acknowledge what you have been doing that has been destroying that relationship.

I can’t coach you through the whole thing here, but it is important that you acknowledge where you are at fault - This is not about where the other person has been wrong. If you approach the situation looking to place blame on the other person, you are going to come out worse than you went in. This isn’t about proving that you are right. This is about accepting responsibility, getting over yourself and moving forward with your life.
