0:00:07 > 0:00:09In this episode we're going to explore our hopes

0:00:09 > 0:00:12and worries about the future.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16So, what does the future hold for our Lifebabblers?

0:00:18 > 0:00:22We simply have no idea what the future holds.

0:00:22 > 0:00:23Never limit yourself.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26That's definitely my favourite piece of advice for the future.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Your goal may seem really hard at the moment,

0:00:28 > 0:00:31but that should only make you even more determined to work harder.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Because when you get there it will feel so good.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Don't get too stressed out,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38everybody has their own journey with their own outcome.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Trust your journey.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Trust your instincts,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43but not to the point where you can't turn back.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45You can always go back and start from square one,

0:00:45 > 0:00:47it's not the end of the world.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Try not to think or worry about how far you've got to go,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53but, instead, be really proud of how far you've come.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56If you set a goal to be a footballer, then go and do it.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00The future is exciting. Don't feel worried, look forward to it.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Oh, look, a crystal ball.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Why don't I look into it to see the future?

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Dear crystal ball...

0:01:09 > 0:01:12What will I be when I grow up?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15You are going to be a train driver.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17But I don't want to be a train driver.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, OK.

0:01:19 > 0:01:25Well, you are going to be a great dog hairdresser.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, no, I don't actually want to be that either.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Well, then, why don't you just be what you want to be?

0:01:42 > 0:01:46when it comes to all the hard work for me to achieve my goal.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Making big decisions can be stressful,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54but they can also be the start of something new and exciting.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57It's better to take your time and make the right decision,

0:01:57 > 0:02:01rather than to rush and make the wrong decision.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Try not to limit yourself, all of us have stories about ourselves,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06about what we're good at and what we're bad at.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Talk to people in different professions

0:02:21 > 0:02:23and see if they have any advice.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Speak to your teacher or careers adviser for more helpful tips.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28When I was growing up, there were loads of times

0:02:28 > 0:02:30when I had no idea what I wanted to do

0:02:30 > 0:02:33and other times when I thought I did but then changed my mind.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Trust me, there are always options.
