Hey you there. Be the version of yourself that already did that thing you’ve been dreaming of for so long.
Imagine you’ve run the race, written that first draft, lost the weight, bought that plane ticket, got that promotion, got that raise, paid off that debt, moved into your dream home, found love like you’ve never known before, fill in blank with other future dream HERE . Imagine you’re that future self on the other side of now.
Now consider that the only difference between the YOU of this moment and the YOU in that vision is the future version of yourself has accrued proof that they themselves are, indeed, more powerful than any obstacle that stood in their way toward their goal.
Turns out they’ve learned that time wasn’t that big of a problem, their age wasn’t a factor, their looks weren’t a deal breaker, their never having done it before didn’t stop them, their missteps and hiccups didn’t bring down the whole operation, their fear wasn’t enough to keep them from getting there, and so on and so forth until what they dreamed of was right their in hot little hands.
Now. Instead of waiting to be that version in three months, how ‘bout we all try being that version of ourselves right now?
Yes. We have thoughts about how we’re worthy and how we’re not worthy. Yes, we have thoughts about how our life is structured and what we’re allowed to have and not have inside it. Yes, we wonder if we have what it takes.
Now, remember that the only difference between YOU and Future YOU and is that Future YOU knows they have what it takes.
Newsflash. You can believe that thought right here, right where you’re at. You have what it takes.
I have what it takes. We all have everything we need to get moving toward a future we love and we have permission to find out more as we go, ask for help, celebrate, grow, learn, become a new version of ourselves just by starting the journey in the first place.
So begin the journey today as though you’ve already done it. Trust yourself, treat yourself well in a way that equips you with clear eyes, a strong body, a sound mind, and well-managed emotion. Give more attention to the road and less to the roadblocks.
I’m launching a Kickstarter campaign on Sunday, April 28th. I think of it as a victory lap from day one. That I even got this far to launch a new campaign for a new record is worth celebrating. I’m not going to withhold joy and a sense of self-trust until I’ve earned it by getting fully funded. No. I’m giving myself the joy of achievement from day one. Like the woman who, on day 30, will be abounding with achievement. I’m going to start from there. Why? Because it’s fun, clear, and confident. We get to be that. No more waiting. This is your pep talk. No go be amazing.
