How To Connect With Your Future Self

Your future self is waiting for you. The questions is, ‘What are you doing right now? How are you living your day?

Are you challenging yourself enough? Are you thinking the same thoughts? Are you meeting with the right people? Are you learning? Do you have a goal? What are you doing to make your goal a reality?

If you are not working to change the direction of your life, you are wasting your time. You are not living your real life. You are waiting for what is not going to come to you.

Remember that a great life doesn’t happen by accident. If you want something to come to you, if you want to be successful, you must get to work. You must work for what you want.

You will get what you worked for, not what you want. That is how life works.

If you want to really connect with your future self, you have got to change what is not working in your life right now. Do not do it tomorrow. You must get to work today.

You must take care of your thoughts. When you take care of your thoughts, your thoughts will take care of your future.

To change your life, to connect with your future self, you must challenge yourself. Tough things build confidence. When you do more, you become more.

And you must take risks if you are to connect with your future self. If you want to connect with your future self, you must have the courage to try new things.

Do not shy away from new things. Put yourself out there. Do not expect greatness to come to you. That is not going to happen. That is not how life works.

Do things that add to your life, not things that take away from your life.

If what you are doing is not helping you get better, let it go. Now!

Out Of Connection, Love And Compassion Arise

Without the rigidity of concepts, the world becomes transparent and illuminated, as though lit from within.

With this understanding, the interconnectedness of all that lives becomes very clear.

We see that nothing is stagnant and nothing is fully separate, that who we are, what we are, is intimately woven into the nature of life itself.

Out of this sense of connection, love and compassion.’- Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
