The past already happened. It is over. The future hasn’t happened yet. It depends on what you do in the present, which is right now.
If you want a better future, maximize the present. It is so easy to use the “tomorrow” excuse. “Oh, I’ll do it tomorrow.” It’s okay to do that every once in a while, but when it becomes a broken record, the future you dream about, won’t look that much different than your life does right now.
“But, I don’t have time to work on my future today.” Well, let me ask you a question. If you replaced some of the time you spend watching tv, are on social media, and doing some of the other leisure activities in your life, with time you spend working on your future, how much time would you have to work on your future?
Your past got you to your present. If you like your present life, then you probably did some things right in your past. If you don’t like your present life, then make the changes you need to make now, so that your future life is what you want it to be.
The keys to becoming who and what you want to become, are making the decision to change the things in your life that you don’t like, finding out how to get from where you are now, to where you want to be, getting started as soon as possible, and following through.
The second half of 2018 is here. You can wait to get started on your future until next year, or you can get started right now, and already be on a roll by the time the new year starts. The choice is yours.
The people who know you can’t force you to do it. The only person who can improve your future, and your life, is…..YOU!
Make the decision to do what you’ve got to do, to make things happen, and get stuff done. Your future self will thank you.
Sincerely,
Your Future Self
