Your past, present and future all exist right now. Because of what has happened in your past, you bring those thoughts into your future. Even the decisions you make right now, in the present moment are based upon your past.
You have the power to decide what future you want to have. It’s your decision whether you want to move toward what you truly want or remain where you currently are. Whatever negative emotions you have, you are projecting those into your future. You continue to feel those emotions because of what you have felt in the past.
If you truly want to change your life for the better, you have to start by connecting to your future self. What do I mean by your future self? The person you want to be, the things you want to have, the life you want to live, that is your future self. You need to connect your emotions to that person. That is how you stay present and positive in the moment.
If you continue to have emotions of fear, that is what the Universe will respond to. But if you see yourself in the future taking the vacations you want to take, having the money you want to have, driving the car you always wanted, those feelings will help you feel positive in the now and your life will gravitate toward that. The Universe responds to the feelings you have about the life you are living and it doesn’t differentiate from whether they are happening right now or in the future. The more you think about the life you want, the quicker your life will appear.
A good example is let’s say you are traveling down a dark road, you can’t see a thing in front of you because it’s a very thick and foggy night and it’s raining really hard. How would that make you feel, scared? Not knowing what is right in front of you or perhaps around the corner! But let’s say you are driving down a road and you can see for miles. It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and you can see your destination right up ahead. You feel much better because you can see where you are headed, right!
You can change your life by connecting with your future self first, then go back to the past and change your beliefs. You are the only person responsible for your life, no one else. You don’t have to take on the same beliefs of your parents, your teachers or even your friends. By finding those negative emotions, connecting with your future self about how you feel for that moment, then you can step into that process and feel it. That’s how you can create your own life and have whatever you desire.
