Ep #36 The Future is Superior to the Present

The Future is Superior to the Present.

What do you do when you are working towards a beautiful future, but the present gives you no indication that you will arrive there? We are constantly searching for evidence that our hopes or fears are legitimate.

 

Great if you find proof that you can achieve what you hope for although that's never enough to keep you going till the end. If, however, your fears are confirmed, the discovery can paralyse you and keep you from pressing forward.

 

Learning to draw inspiration and strength from the future takes effort and it begins with adopting the mindset that the future is superior to the present. This then frees you to think in terms of a better future, and not a limiting present situation.

 

In this episode I share three affirmations that helped me press forward when fear and discouragement paralysed me last week:

 

My future is superior to and even more beautiful than my past. Because when your present situation looks hopeless, you need something to pull you forward into a better place.

 

I have everything In need inside me, to become all God created me to be. Because when we can't see the resources to build our future are we need to look inside us.

 

I do not make emotional decisions Because our emotions are transient and unreliable; an emotional decision might offer immediate relief but cause long term problems.
