How To Create A Better Future For Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

You are responsible for your life. No one is coming to rescue you. If you want to create a better future for yourself, you have got to rescue yourself.

You do that by changing how you see yourself, what you are doing, and how you think about yourself. You are not going to be able to meet your future self if you are still playing your old music.

You are not going to be able to meet your future self if you are still listening to your old tapes. Why is that? Because where you want to go requires new thoughts.

You can’t create a new life with an old, negative thoughts. You can’t think like a loser and expect to create a better future.

If you are serious about meeting your future self, you have got to change what is going on inside your mind.

Remember, your mind is everything. What you want starts in your mind. If you don’t have a sound mind, you are less likely to get to where you are going.

Why? Because your future self doesn’t care about your old thoughts.

So if you want to meet your future self, you must make the most of what you have going on for you. Take care of what you are doing. Think positively about your life. Focus on what is going well for you. Do not waste your energy on things that are not helping you.

Surround yourself with positive people. Because you can’t do your dreams alone. You need other people to help you grow.

Give yourself permission to try things that are different from what you are used to. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, to think better thoughts, to meet great people.

That is what your future self wants from you.

You can create a better future for yourself when you change how you think about yourself. You can create a better future for yourself when you stop to care about being perfect.

Because your future self knows that we grow when we make mistakes. Do not be scared to do what you have not done before. Because that is what your future self wants you to do.

Try. Do not be scared to try. You are better than you think you are. You know that by actually trying something that you have never done before.

And, no matter what is going on in your world, your future self wants you to be positive. And you can find it within yourself. It is not out there. It is within you.

Remember, creating a better future is not about being perfect. It is about growth. It is about knowing what you want. And how to get it.

Everytime you are faced with a problem, remember where you are going, not where you are coming from.

How To Bring Out The Best In Yourself

If you don’t believe in yourself, who do you think is going to believe in you? If you don’t believe in your progress, who do you think is going to believe in it?

Whatever you want to do for yourself, you are the only one who can do it for yourself. Do not wait. Now is the time to get to work. And here is how:

Have a dream.

If you do not have a dream, what do you have? What are you doing to improve your life? Without a dream, you are not going to achieve anything. According to Oscar Hammerstein 11, ‘If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make your dream come true.’ If you want to achieve your dream, then you must have one.

Mastery takes time.

You can succeed. You can move forward. And you can change yourself. But you have got to take your time. Do not rush through it. If you want to master yourself, you must be patient with yourself. Dan Rockwell said, ‘Mastery has degrees. You aren’t on the mountain top yet.’ Things get better with time. You will get better with time.

Be humble.

Who doesn’t want to work with a humble person? Who does not want to be led by a humble leader? We all want to be around humble people. Why is that? Because they are who they say they are. They don’t belittle people. They don’t defend themselves when they make mistakes. To put it simply, they are just real. And they are not afraid to admit it when they mess up.

Focus on the process.

You can get more done in your life when you don’t worry about where you are going. It doesn’t mean you are not thinking about your future. You are. But don’t let it take you away from what you are doing in the present.

When it comes to your future, where you are right now is very important. What you are doing right now is very important. If you do not take care of where you are right now, if you do not have the courage to live in the present, you are not going to get to where you are going.

In the words of Gina Mollicone- Long, ‘Results don’t come from somewhere else, somewhere ‘out there’. They come from us.’ If you want to get the best results, then you must do your best work.

Do not get too comfortable.

Dan Rockwell writes, ‘The fear of loss maintains the status quo.’ It is okay for you if that is what you want. If growth is what you are after, if life is what you are after, you have got to challenge yourself. You have got to face your fears. If you do not challenge yourself, your status quo, you will never grow.

Wherever you are, always Recruit The Best!
