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?

Do Not Be Afraid To Change Your Mind

If things are not working for you, do not get frustrated. Do not beat yourself up. Ask yourself, ‘What is going on? Why am I not getting it right? What am I missing?’ Never ask, ‘Why me?’ That is not good. That is not good for you. Just because you are learning does not mean you are not going to get better.

Just beacuse you are struggling to understand something does not mean you are stupid. Just because you are still trying to know yourself better doesn’t mean you are a weak person. Just because you don’t want to be abused by those who don’t know you, that doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Or that you are a loner. You are not a loner. You love yourself. You don’t want to be abused by people who don’t know what it really means to be alive.

If something is not for you, do not pretend to like it. If you do, you are wasting your time. If you are not comfortable with people, do not pretend to like them. It is okay to say, ‘I love myself more.’ Do not pretend to do anything that you are not proud of. If you do, you are hurting yourself.
