Living Your Future You

If you were to think back a few years ago, would you say that you’re the same person as you are now or have you changed?

Hopefully you’ve grown and become a better version of yourself.

As life throws you curve balls and things to overcome you become a stronger person.  You’ve learned things that you didn’t know a few years ago and you’ve experienced things that you’ve had to work through.  All of these things allow you to grow as a human being.

When you’re working towards a goal you have your current bag of tools from what you’ve experienced and learned in the past.  These tools help you take steps toward achieving your goal.

When you visualize achieving your goal, the person standing there in appreciation and awe of what they’ve just accomplished is different than the person who just began working towards that goal.  Each roadblock and misstep along the way has built character.  Lessons were learned and each step was required in order to achieve that final goal.  That includes the failures too.

Failures are simply lessons to learn from and grow.  They teach you what you can improve upon and do better next time.  Failures are to be expected as just a part of the process toward achieving your goal.

Life is about the person you become while achieving your goal.  Visualize yourself achieving your goal and think about the person you’ve become. Really see the future version of you. Think about what mindset the future version of you has and what actions you would have taken in order to get there.

The key to achieving your goal faster is to realize who that person is that you become when you’ve achieved your goal.  This is the future version of you.  If you can start thinking and acting that way now, you’ll reach your goal faster.

Perhaps your current tool box has some built in fears because you’ve never done something before. Yet, if you think about the future you who just achieved the goal, future you had to do those things in order to achieve the goal.  Therefore, that fear gone for the future you because you’re not afraid of doing things that you’ve already done before.

Think about what fears you wouldn’t have any more if you were the future you right now.  Think about how you would act differently with the confidence you have in yourself because you’ve already achieved the goal you set to accomplish.

Seeing yourself achieving your goal and being there in that future moment removes your doubt.  The fears go away because you’ve done it!  You’ve achieved the goal.  Think about how you would act differently if you knew your success was inevitable.  There is no doubt or fear that you will achieve your goal.

Working from the point of view of who you are when you’ve achieved the goal is huge mindset shift. Not only will you achieve your goal faster but you’ll learn and grow so much quicker too.  The number of things you can achieve becomes limitless because your fears and doubts have subsided.  There is no other option for your future but success.  Start living today as your future you.
