How Long-Range Forecasts Are Made

Picture yourself as a stringed instrument. You’re beautiful, cleaned, polished, and ready to be played in an orchestra.

I’m your musician. I come and pick you up—the glorious instrument—and try you out. “Something isn’t right,” I say. “You need to be tuned.” “Oh no,” you think. “Tuning usually means tightening and twisting!” Yes, there is tightening, twisting, and then some testing, and maybe more tightening, twisting, and testing again—but soon melodious sounds flow from you—the instrument—and fill all the hearers with peace, joy, and happiness.

If I had tried to go through the performance without tuning you first, it would have caused you to sound discordant and out of key, and you would have lacked the harmony and peace that a tuned instrument brings. So while the tuning may cause a measure of stretching, pulling, and some pain or difficulty, in time it will bring about the beautiful sounds and harmonious melodies that will move and captivate the audience.

Trust Me, that I know what is best for you. Be happy for this time of tuning, because soon you will bring joy to the hearers.
