Have You Seen Your Future Self?

by Brenda on May 3, 2012

Do you believe that the Universe is a loving place and that we create our own reality?
There is an amazing power in owning those beliefs. You see when you step into your power, you have the ability to change your reality.  If you are not especially happy with your current results, you get to take responsibility for what you have created and you get to CHOOSE something different.  It’s also important to understand that our future creates our present.

The problem is that most of us spend our time projecting a negative future, mostly because we are basing it on our current reality.  So, the more time we spend thinking and vibrating in our reality, the more of the same we create.

So how do we breakthrough an unwanted pattern?
It’s simple, we open ourselves up to possibilities and address our bright future.  We must be able to see where it is that we want to go.  Where we want to journey to.  It’s no secret that the connection to the future is what very successful people vibrate in.  And that connection to the future is real for them.  It drives them.  It’s what they talk about.  It’s what they think about.  It’s what they dream about.  It’s what they feel.  It takes a conscious effort to build a friendship or a connection with your future self.  If you put the time and energy into that friendship, it gets stronger and stronger because of the strong influence becomes more of something that you can rely on and trust. You can build that same relationship with your future self.

The idea is to look at your whole life and to be able to expand your whole life.  It’s not about working in one area of your life—maybe your physical issues, your financial issues, your career, family, etc.  If you work in one area, what tends to happen is you improve that area, but then the other areas compensate and there is a sense of unbalance.  You haven’t necessarily improved your whole life; you’ve just improved one area.  Frequently what happens is the other areas get neglected in the process.  The key to doing that is also paying attention as you’re looking at your different futures and your different possibilities and looking at all the details.

Have you heard the saying, “We’re not human beings having a spiritual experience; we’re spiritual beings having a human experience?”.  As spiritual beings what we ultimately deserve is having everything that we desire.  But because of the “programming” and many of the experiences that we endure, somewhere along the way we choose to not let abundance in.  We don’t allow that connection to the abundant universe.

The Good News?
By taking the time to connect with our future self, we can change all of this almost immediately.  Imagine your future, change your consiousness, change your reality.   It really is that simple.  Are you feeling compelled to take action and step into your bright future?  Are you at a crossroads and could really benefit from connecting to the abundance within you?  If so, I can help!  Let me guide you into meeting your future and creating a beautiful vision for your life and business.  Learn more about the Journey Into Your Future private session by clicking here.

When I ask someone if they are willing to be different,they usually laugh, look at me like I’m crazy and answer “Yes” without givingit a second thought.

Listen, here’s the truth – to have a differentlife, you have to be different than you have ever been before. You have to bethe person that has the life you want, and I can pretty much guarantee that isgoing to seriously push your comfort zone.

Life transformation doesn’t come from findingthe right business opportunity or falling in love or losing 20 pounds – lifetransformation comes in the person that we become as we create the life we desire.

So don’t be like most people.  Give this question a second thought and askyourself honestly…

“Am I willing to be different?”

To help you really get a handle on this, I wantto talk about what willingness really is. As I said before, willingness isn’t thesame as desire and that is where most of the confusion comes in.

When you look up ‘willing’ in the dictionarythis is what you find:

Willing inclined or favorably disposed in mind -ready prompt to act or respond done, borne, or accepted by choice or withoutreluctance of or relating to the will or power ofchoosing

Notice the key words here- Ready, Prompt to Act,Without Reluctance and Power of Choosing.

For our purposes, let’s come up with a morespecific definition of ‘Willing’:

Willing (the NEW definition)

1. Ready to use the power of choice to think,believe and act differently, quickly and without reluctance.

With our new definition, can you see how beingready is different than being willing?

So, are you willing to be different? Are youreally willing to let go of the attachment to the thoughts, situations, people,actions and more that are keeping you where you are?

When you know you desire something, you areready, but change doesn’t happen until we become willing.  I know this goes against every instinct. Iknow how easy and common it is to feel that if you just knew what to do tochange your life and live the life of your dreams then you would do it.

I know that because that used to be what I said- I said things like…         If I just knew the rightpeople         If I just knew what action totake         If I had more money         If I had the right connections

Then I would do whatever it took to make ithappen!

Let me share my journey into willingness. I wasready for years before I was willing. And it was only in the moment that Ibecame willing that my life finally started to transform.

The day I became willing was the day I realizedthat I was about to lose everything I valued, my relationship, all of my money(or what was left of it), my dignity, my performing career, my health – I wasgoing to lose everything if I didn’t find a way. And all I had was proof thatthere wasn’t a way.

All at once, when it seemed like it was allover, the strangest thing happened – in a single moment I decided. I didn’tdecide anything profound about what I would do or how I was going to change mylife, I just decided to become willing. Because if I didn’t become willing, ifI didn’t decide that even though there didn’t seem to be a way and even ifthere was I didn’t have the time, energy or resources to do it, I decided thatwasn’t an option. I decided to be willing to stop paying attention to thereasons I couldn’t. I decided to stop paying attention to how I wasn’t gettingwhat I wanted no matter how hard I tried and how much I worked and how much Iworried and tried to think of something else – and I decided to be willing toaccept that everything that seemed to be true wasn’t and that despite allappearances, if I just let go of what seemed to be true and accepted that Ididn’t really know what was going on, that a new way would be revealed to me.

Talk about a leap of faith. I literally decidedto not accept all of the things that were threatening my very survival as thetruth because they were the symptoms of the choices I had made so far in mylife and I needed to make different choices.

So I did…that night I sent an email to a guruwho lived in NY. I told him I was in NY as well and loved what he did and wantedto know if there was anything I could do to help him in any way.

This was an approach I had NEVER taken before… [click to continue…]
