A letter from Oct 12, 2022

Dear FutureMe, "I am exactly where I am today because it's essential to where I'll be tomorrow." - Your future Self I love that you love you. Over the last 5 years, what have you learned? I know, for sure, that you know how to love yourself, and you also know how to love others. You give from your saucer of love, real, genuine, authentic, LOVE! People always come up to you and tell you this. Even in your intimate relationship of love with your lover, she tells you this daily. You're her man, and you know how -- through you connecting your masculinity to her femininity -- to love her in a way she's never felt before. And you know, it's only from god's love, that you can love others. You love yourself first, so you can love her. And that's the gold -- by loving yourself so much (self-love in the 10), you share it with the world. It's the epitome of sharing and a philanthropist. It wasn't money you wanted to give (although you initially thought it was, and chased money because of it, because you thought once you had money, you could love) -- it was love, and you found it the wrap-around way -- by loving yourself FIRST. You've accomplished everything you ever dreamed of, and you retired early -- at the age of 40 (1 year ago). Are you surprised? You're income pays for your expenses, and you live a joyous life (the 58). You're busy, you help people, you find deep meaning in everything you do, and you're fulfilled -- at a heart level. Now you get to bless humanity with the gift of love, appreciation, gratitude, and presence. You're dream of being a benefactor to humanity -- while not being a martyr -- is here and now! "I am exactly where I am today because it's essential to where I'll be tomorrow." - Your future Self. If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does. Everything you ever wanted to change, was confirmation that just being present, happy, and content with what is, was worth the wait. You're the best. Love, Your future self
