Answers About Your Future Reside In Your Present – Focus On Making A Better NOW
You imagine a lot when it comes to your future self. There are so many scenarios that are created in our head and so much of our space is filled with them. We need to free up some space, take a deep breath and follow the path of good decisions!
Now, what are these good decisions? The first one is planning your present in such a way that your future self is thankful to you. It is not that hard, we assure you! It is rather much more productive than the scenarios we create. There are a few elements in the “planning your present” part and if they are taken care of, then you have hacked your way into your future in the most organic way possible!
These are the elements of the present that will shape your future:
1. Identify and act on what future demands
There is always something that your future self is speaking and reminding you so that there are no disappointments that exist further. Remember, when we mention the future, it includes both, very near and very far expectations.
Take an example, imagine you have guests coming over for lunch tomorrow and there are groceries that you need to buy for preparing the lunch. Now you have just arrived back from work and in no mood to go grocery shopping. Two options arise: either you spend the rest of your evening at home or get a little active and go buy the necessary stuff. The latter will prove to be rewarding for future you, we all know that! So, act on that!
2. Convert present weakness into future strength
The last thing you want to do is carry the burden of your present into your future. Future you needs to be free of all the baggage from the past! So, it is better we work on our weaknesses instead of believing that our future self will be a lot different from our present self.
There is no doubt that future will be different and better but a lot depends on how you bring about that change and the first step in that direction is treating your weakness in a way that will make it easier for you to turn it into strength.
3. Believe in the existence of future
There can be times in your life when your belief in the future wavers leading to some doubts which can have an undesired effect on your thinking. This is definitely unsought!
It is better if you have not encountered this situation yet but you need to have a realistic approach towards the future in order to have optimistic thoughts for everything you have imagined.
Building a future begins with putting efforts in your present. If you have unraveled this, you have taken a first successful step into your future!
