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 Some People Don’t Succeed

Success starts with you. It requires you. Success is not about what other people are doing; it is about what you are doing.

Your own success is about how you are living your own life. If you want to attract success into your life, you must value yourself. Because you are the beginning of your success. Because you know what success means to you. You are not going after what other people are going after.

Success is not doing what other are doing. It is doing what you want to do. It is knowing why you are doing what you are doing.

If you don’t follow the wrong path, you are more likely to succeed in your own life. Do not do what people want you to do. If you believe in yourself, if you believe in your ideas, if you are true to yourself, you can make your success happen.

In the words of Johnny Wimbrey, ‘No one will take a risk on you if you aren’t willing to put yourself and your self-worth on the line.’

That is true. If you do not value yourself, no one is going to value you. If you want people to value you, according to Johnny, you must ‘Value yourself. Value your time and energy and ideas.’

Will you?
