Today is the Future You Created in the Past by Pennie Hunt

​It is five years from now. Life is good. You are healthy. You are happy. You have the life you wished for. Can you visualize this? What does this life look like? What does it feel like to be living it?

What are you doing now to create this life you are dreaming of? You see that future life, the one you dream of, you are creating today. What you are doing today is creating the life you will have five years from now.

Some people don’t like to wait. They want instant gratification. They want that perfect life… and they want it right now. They expect it and are continually disappointed when they don’t get what they want, now!

Some people don’t want to put in the effort it takes to create their perfect life. They want to sit and wait for it to happen. They want a high-paying job right out of college. They want to be physically fit, have the perfect spouse, a great house, and a brand-new car. They want to win the lottery. They want to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They don’t want to work for any of it.

What both types of people don’t understand is that to get the life you want, you have to put in the work. Not just for one day, but consistently day after day. If you want to be physically fit and healthy, you need to exercise and eat healthy consistently.  How you treat your body today is creating the body you will have five years from now.

You can enjoy a candy bar once in a while, but if that is your meal plan every day and you never exercise, you are creating your future body, and it will look very differently than you want it to.

If you want the house of your dreams and a new car, you probably need to create a savings plan, so you have a down payment and the means to buy the things you want. If you find instant gratification overwhelms you and you spend every dollar you earn, your life in five years may look similar to where you are now. No upward movement. No improvement.

Do you see how this works? Every choice you make today influences your future self. Every decision and every move is either going to move you forward to your dream or keep you stuck where you are.

Now, go back to that future dream life that you visualized. What do you need to do today to make that a reality in 5 years? What steps do you need to consistently take? What plans do you need to make that will move you forward? What choices and decisions will help you get to that vision?

Now is the time to begin. You are creating your future life today. See it, feel it, plan for it, do the work. Your future self will thank you for it!
