How far ahead do you think? Days, weeks, years?
All of the above. I think as far ahead as is necessary. If I'm thinking about a good way to plan for retirement, for example, then I'm thinking 10, 20, 30, and 40 years into the future. If I'm thinking about eternity, then my thinking includes more than just "this small 100 years". If I'm thinking about what bills need to be paid this month, then I'm thinking just a few weeks in advance.
[*]How strong is your foresight? How often is it true or accurate?
I don't see it in terms of "accuracy". I see it in terms of allowing me to see all of my options. Then, a certain amount of that is up to me to shape it how I want it. Like if I reach retirement and don't have anything to retire on, I can't use the excuse that "nobody warned me". Indeed, my foresight showed me that I need to prepare to a certain extent and plan for that time in my life. If I don't have the discipline to plan and stick to the plan, then my foresight was "good", but I myself didn't deliver on what it showed me. If I do plan and have discipline, then my foresight works out beautifully.
[*]How does it affect your daily life?
I don't notice it because I'm used to it, but it's the way I think. Every single day. I'm always thinking 1, 2, or 3 steps ahead of where I'm currently at. If I'm coming up to a turn in the road and I'm still 30 feet away from the turn, I'm
already thinking "There could be a car coming the other way around that turn, so make sure you are prepared for that." That's just a small, every day example, but I notice that a lot of people don't do that. I used to think everyone did that. But, I watch people and they will get to the turn and then be shocked when a car is right there and they have to hit the brakes suddenly. That usually doesn't happen to me because I've already anticipated it well in advance.
[*]What objects are you thinking about? Friends? Work? The world circumspect? Universe?
Things I need to take care of, responsibilities (at work and in my personal life), leisurely activities, what I'd like to do next year, coming up with 1, 3, and 5 year plans to advance my business. How I can make a positive impact in the world, etc.
[*]Does this differentiate you from most of the people you know?
It seems to.
[*]Does it make you apprehensive, or does it make you confident?
When I was younger, it did create some anxiety. But, as I've matured, it gives me confidence. I can see almost every possibility before it comes, so I'm usually prepared now. And that only brings confidence. Again, foresight is great if you follow through and work towards the things that your foresight shows you. If you're lazy and don't work towards it, then it laughs at you when you aren't prepared. "Ha ha ha. I told you 50 years ago that you should start working towards retirement and financial independence. But, you didn't care. You just wanted to waste all your money and have fun in the moment. Well, good luck to you now!" ---it can be that type of thing.
