Think carefully of your future self. They need you, today.

Wednesday, March 1, 2023

The window of prosperity is your intention right now. Your current words, thoughts, and beliefs are creating your future. Most of us believe that futures are left to “fate.” But you have tremendous influence over tomorrow. It’s simply what you intend for yourself, and that access point is now. What do you intend for tomorrow? I intend to let everything piss me off, or I intend to be at peace, gratefully rooted in joy, fueled by hope, and sustained by love. So what is it?

Prosperity, serenity, and detachment happen now. Your future is instantaneous. Real hope and joy is now, otherwise it’s wishful thinking, powdered in doubt. What you’re doing now is affecting your future self. That is very different from “someday.” It’s much more urgent to change your ways now. Why? Because the future takes time to craft but will never arrive if you have no intention of doing anything about it today.

Today could have been mind-blowing, if years ago you had understood what you were doing to create it. Imagine your future self visiting you today. Would they find a wretch or someone filled with joy and hope? Would they thank you for what you’re doing today to ensure health, wellness, and prosperity? Start now, no conditions required. It could be as simple as believing in yourself; hoping for something amazing; or taking care of yourself. The power of your dreams begins today. A small, positive thought or micro-action of hope will grow and will meet your future self smiling from ear to ear. Pray for your future self. Give them the hope they need, now. Don’t rely on them to clean up your murky, self-abusive ways and try to glue together a desirable reality from the ashes you are creating today. Create a hopeful future, your future self is counting on you.
