Every outcome begins within, or why I don’t make predictions

You are surrounded by people who make predictions.

Who’s going to win the Oscars? Which team will win the championship? What’s the weather going to be today, or the Stock market, or the housing market? Who’s going to be the next president? What’s going to happen next year?

For those who want to know what’s going to happen next, there are plenty of people willing to tell you, with much certainty, about the future.
