Carve a better you

YOUR FUTURE SELF LIVES IN YOUR MIND

The mind is one of the most powerful factories in the world. It has been the manufacturer of all the inventions, and creations that today litter our world. It has empowered men to go beyond the present into the future they desire to see. The extent to which one engages and feeds his mind determines what it will produce. You are responsible for how your future turns out.

Every decision you make, every thought you entertain, and every action you take are the ingredients that are quietly shaping the person you will become. Your future self is not some distant stranger that you have to go out and search for, you are already building it today, you are already moulding it, in the ingredients that you are putting together at this moment, and soon it will manifest in what you become.

The mind is a sculptor, and time is the clay with which it moulds. What you think today, the habits you form, your discipline, your dreams, forms the blueprint of your tomorrow. Whatever you imagine your future self to be, your present self must be ready, willing, and proactive in taking action towards becoming it. You cannot be wiser tomorrow if you are not acquiring knowledge and experience today, you cannot be stronger tomorrow if you are not giving your body the nutrients that it needs today.

You may think that the future is a problem for later, but the truth is, the future is already here, living in your intentions, your efforts, your actions, and your persistence. The books you read today, the skills you practice, the way you treat others today, are all deposits into the account of your future self. When you arrive at tomorrow, who do you want to meet? A version of yourself that you desire, and will be proud of, or that which will bring you shame? Take actions that drive you in the direction you desire. Your future self is counting on you.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
