The Future You Is Depending On The Current You.

We all have dreams for ourselves. The expensive car, the nice house, the fancy meals. We have a vision for what the future ‘us’ is going to be like. We are going to be smart, confident, and capable. The progression towards your future self is not abrupt, it is gradual. We will not suddenly wake up one day and have a Lamborghini in the driveway of our 10-bedroom mansion. We will not open our eyes and be staring down at a $150 steak at some fancy steak house.

The future you is crafted by the you of today.

That is the secret.

If you are not improving you are dying. If you are not continually growing you are falling behind. If you truly care about achieving something in life you have to progress forward. You have to push. It doesn’t matter what life throws at you. You must have the discipline to trudge on. No one is going to be there pushing you. In fact, it’ll be the opposite. People will try to pull you away. People will push you to develop habits that are not in your best interest (If your best interest is improving yourself). If you truly want to achieve something that is what it takes.

Dreams on their own are worthless.

Everyone has dreams. But, few achieve them.

They have wants and desires, but they don’t work in a way that is conducive to achieving them.

Let’s say you have a goal of bench pressing 225 pounds. Right now you can bench press 135 pounds. Unless you consistently bench press and move up in weight you will not get to 225. You will not miraculously just generate muscle from thin air. You will not get stronger unless you work out. That is just the way it is. It does not matter how you dream about benching 225. It does not matter if you post on your social media every day how “one day you will bench 225” or tell all your friends that you are going to bench 225 one day. Unless you put in the work, it will never happen.
