Five Ways To Make Your Future-Self Happy

Who you are today is not who you are going to be tomorrow. Your future-self is who you want to become.

To get there, you must take care of today. Whatever it is you are doing today, if it is not getting you closer to where you want to be, it is taking you away from it.

To make your future-self happy, you must get out of your safe-zone. Why is that? Because doing the same thing won’t get you there. To get something new, you must think differently. You must take risks, purposeful ones.

To make your future-self happy, you have got to be yourself. Because if you are not yourself, you are not going to get to where you want to be. You need your real self, not the one you are faking.

To make your future-self happy, you must build your life from a place of love. Because where there is love, nothing is impossible.

Finally, to make your future-self happy, you have got to be comfortable with yourself. You are enough. Be comfortable with yourself.

Isn’t that enough? What else do you want?

Why You Shouldn’t Trust Yourself Too Much

Self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, nothing will work.

Life happens when we trust ourselves.

Growth happens when we trust other people. And

Mistakes happen when we trust ourselves too much.

Self-trust is self-belief. When you trust yourself, you know who you are. You know what you can do. And you know what you cannot do.

When you trust yourself, you don’t pretend to be who you are not. You are just you. You know what is right, and you know also what is wrong.

You trust yourself when you believe in yourself, when you believe in your thoughts, when you believe in your decisions, when you believe in your dreams, and when you believe in your friends.

But is that all? No, there is more. We make mistakes when we trust ourselves too much. We trust ourselves too much when we don’t consider other people’s thoughts, their feelings, their actions. We trust ourselves too much when we make decisions without talking to people who have done what we are about to do.

As a being, you can trust yourself. But do not forget that you don’t know everything. If you want to see what is going on around you, you must bring other people to the table. Because no one is smart enough to know everythting. If you know everything, you trust yourself too much. It is dangerous. It is not healthy.

Do not trust yourself too much. You need other people. If you want to do something really big, don’t go it alone. Do not ignore other people. Talk to people who can help. Because we are better when do things together. We are smarter when we think together. I am not talking about group think. That is a whole new thing. I am not going there right now.

We are stronger when we learn from other people, when we make room for mistakes, when we face our demons. We are smarter when we are willing to receive what the world has for us.

We are better together than alone. We can do more when we trust other people, when we learn from other, and when we step out of our comfort zones.

Remember, self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, no one will trust you. If you trust yourself too much, no one will follow you.

So if you want people to trust you, you must first trust yourself. And you must NOT trust yourself too much.
