This quote is so true and I so needed to hear this today. To go back to a previous blog post I made regarding excuses, I have fallen back into them. They took over again. I didn’t realize this was happening until I saw this today. It’s so easy to fall back into routines and habits that have become so natural right?. My excuses have been like this:
- I’m on vacation. (This is a great one!)
- I’m totally off my routine. I’ll regroup and get back to it tomorrow.
- We’ve been crazy busy, it’s an evening to just relax and slow it down. (which also means, have a comforting dinner and glass of wine)
- I stayed up too late, I’m too tired to get up and work out.
- I have so much to do to get ready for the trip. Which is then followed up with of course......There's so much to do now that we're home. Laundry, house cleaning, etc.
If I begin to see myself as being her already, I make great strides each and every day with becoming her. Each choice brings me closer. I will think how she thinks and make choices and decisions that she would make. If I begin wavering about something or making an excuse or rationalizing my way in or out of something, I just need to figure out if my future self would do it. Would my future self look back and wish she hadn’t done that? Will this bring me a step closer to her or will I lose ground? If I keep doing this, one day I will wake up, look at myself and realize I have become that future self I saw here today.
What do you see in the future? Would you make different choices today if you acted as if the dreams you have for yourself were already here?
Blessings,
Christina
