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?

What Are You Asking For?

‘Asking for something and then giving two seconds into an awkward silence doesn’t count.’- Lia Garvin

It takes courage and clarity to ask for something. It takes courage to really ask for something. If you don’t have the courage to face what you are asking for, it is impossible to go after it.

But do not let that stop you from asking for what you really want. If you think you can do something about it, then ask for it. If you think you are not there yet, then don’t waste your time.

Ask if you are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Ask if you are willing to do the work. Ask if you are asking for the right reason. Ask if you are not going to give up when the going gets really tough.

Whether the going gets tough or not, if you want to succeed in your life, you must ask. And you must be willing to do the work.

The question is, ‘What are you asking for?’
