​In your present you give thought to your future so that when you get to that future time, your future has been prepaved, or prepared, for you by you.
 
And so, much that you are experiencing today is as a result of your thoughts about today that you thought yesterday and the day before and the year before and the year before.
 
Every thought that you think that is directed toward what you want for your future is of great benefit to you.

Each new day is bringing us a choice: to do the things we’ve always done (and if that works-keep doing more of that)… or to do something differently.
 
It’s not sufficient to make this choice one time and expect that now we will be a different person.
 
Change happens in cycles.

It’s necessary to keep reminding ourselves who we want to be and who we no longer want to be.
 
Who do I no longer want to be?

I heard this question being asked by Joe Dispenza on a podcast and used it as a journaling prompt this morning.
 
Hope you find it as powerful as I did.
 
Happy Journaling.

​The Future Self concept was life changing for me, way before I even knew there was a name for it.
During the darkest times in my life, in my mind’s eye, I could clearly see a version of myself that was very different. That vision kept me going, striving, and not settling. Now I know that I was guided by my Future Self.
 
Reading this book feels more like remembering. It is full of little insights and practical ideas, plus it’s a fun and easy read which makes it a wonderful morning read!
 
Here a few of my favorite lines:
 
*A massive threat to your Future Self is simply that you’re thinking way too small. Multiply your vision 10-times or 100-times larger. You’ll be forced to understand the principles, rules, and strategies of living at a higher level. Instead of working harder, elevate what you think you can do.
 
*In every situation, regardless of what you’ve done in the past, there is always the possibility to do otherwise. There is always potential for conscious choosing.
 
*By seeing your Future Self as different person, you appreciate that this person sees things differently than you now. They care about different things than you do now.
 
*Moving from liking to loving your Future Self is the difference between sacrificing for someone and investing.
