Dear Reader,

⏰ Mindset Minute

{January 31, 2023}

Imagine you receive a hand written letter in the mail.

It reads, “Dear Reader, I’m writing this letter 5 years into your future and I’m here to tell you that it all came true. Everything you wished for, everything you worked for, your wildest dreams. You made it happen and here’s how…”

The letter goes on to elaborate in great detail all your accomplishments and how you did it. The goals you hit, the businesses you built, the lives you touched, etc.

And at the very bottom it’s signed,

“Love,
{insert your name here}”

Seems impossible to get a letter from your future-self with a spoiler alert on your own life, right?

Impossible, but no less effective.

This morning, I wrote that letter to myself and it was wild.

As I brain-dumped into my journal, I felt an odd urge to fast forward a few years and write a letter from my future-self to my present-self.

After reading it back I felt an incredible of surge of HOPE and EXCITEMENT like no other.

Listen, we’re only one month into 2023 and some of us already feeling a sense of strain from the demands of the year.

If that’s you, take the 10 minutes to fast forward and explore what life is like after it’s all said and done.

You may be surprised at what comes of it.
