Other People

Your future self goes after her dreams unapologetically.  But, your current self is afraid.  You’re afraid what other people will think of you if you try and fail.  Most of all, you’re afraid of what dreaming big and failing will mean about you as a person.  These limiting beliefs put you into a head spin.  You start thinking you’re not smart, you’re incapable, you’re unworthy, etc.  You’ve immediately jumped to the worst case scenario that because you have this big dream you will automatically fail.  All because you’re afraid of how you’ll look in front of other people.  This fear of embarrassment will only hold you back in life.  You’ll never achieve your dreams if you continue to be afraid of what other people will think.  It’s time to let go of those limiting beliefs and fully step into your future self that boldly goes after her dreams.  Your future self doesn’t care what other people think.  Your future self is living life to the fullest without any regrets.  Do not let other people hold you back from going after your dreams and becoming the future self you are truly meant to be.

Experience

The other reason you hold yourself back from becoming your ideal future self is because you think you don’t have enough experience.  This is called imposter syndrome where you feel like you’re not as competent as others.  Over the years you’ve experienced things that have allowed you to learn and grow.  These experiences have shaped the person you’ve become.  If you want to become your ideal future self, then think about what would she be doing right now.  Identify what you need to learn right now in order to become the person you’re meant to be.  This could be listening to podcasts, watching videos, reading books, taking online courses, or anything that will give you the experience you need to learn and become more knowledgeable in a certain area or field.  In turn, this will give you the confidence you need to step into becoming the future self you were put on this planet to be.
