A Letter From Future You

In order to achieve massive success in your life, you have to know where you want to go in the future.  Imagine yourself years into the future.  Think about what you want your dream life to look and feel like.  You need to give yourself some direction so that you know where you want to be headed.  Otherwise, you’re just aimlessly floating through life without a clear direction.  Write down your dream life on paper so that you can gain even more clarity on what you want to make happen.  Begin this process by writing a letter from future you to your present self.

Your Future

Write a letter to the present you from the you ten years in the future.  Visualize the life you’re living and what you’ve accomplished.  See yourself in the future and what you’re doing, where you’re living, who you’re with, etc.  Bring that visual into vivid detail so that you can get really clear on what you want to make happen in your future.  Set a goal for yourself and write down what you see.  Choose a beacon in the future that you can work towards.  Get really clear on what it is that you want your future life to look like and write it down from the perspective of your future self that has already achieved it.

Challenges

Next, think about what it took to get there.  Ponder what you learned and what challenges may have come up.  Envision what you had to do to overcome those challenges.  Perhaps you had to adapt, pivot, make adjustments, stay determined, or rely on your trust and belief to keep taking action, etc.  The tough times build up your strength and prepare you for more difficult moments in the future.  Determine who you became in the future because of these challenging experiences.  Write about who you are in the future.

Let Go

Then, consider what you had to let go of in order to achieve this success in the future.  It might be letting go of certain fears, worries, or self doubt.  Maybe you had to let go of old stories or beliefs that weren’t serving you.  Perhaps it was unhealthy habits or distractions that were keeping you from focusing on taking action to create your dream life.  Write down all the things you had to let go of in order to become the future you who took the important actions that moved the needle towards your dreams.

Action Steps

Lastly, think about what you did.  Identify what actions and little steps you took to get there.  Write down everything that comes to mind and use this as a starting point today.  Begin taking those little actions right now.  Maybe that’s creating new routines, using a planner, establishing accountability, etc.  As you take these actions, you’ll watch the path to your dream future begin to enfold.  Write down what actions you took to turn your dreams into reality.

Write a letter to your present self from the future.  Visualize what your life looks like in the future and what you’ve achieved.  Picture the challenges, lessons learned, and who you became in the future.  Imagine you've let go of all your fears, worries, and doubts that are currently stopping your present self from achieving that level of success.  Then, envision what action steps you had to take in order to make your dream a reality.  Describe everything in crystal clear detail and then read this letter out loud to yourself while noticing how you feel.  You’ve just visualized what is possible for you and your future.  You’ve just magnetically set this future into motion.  You’ve conveyed your deepest wants and desires to your subconscious mind.  Now is the time to get your present self into action so that you can quickly bridge that gap between where you are and where you want to be in the future.  You can do this but it all starts with taking those consistent tiny actions today.
