A letter from the past |
Dear FutureMe, let me tell you...
What are the key memories and experiences you hope to cherish X years from now? I cherish these moments with my beautiful wife. She is so silly and yet so courageous. I love how she is not shy and is willing to approach others the way I wish I could. We are similar but she is definitely more outgoing than I am. I also love that she is not so focused on the goal but the journey. She will rest and take photos, make recordings. I get too wrapped up in the doing, the going, the goal. I think I should take a lesson from her. I also love her free spirit, I haven’t seen her like this for a while and I miss it. So happy, so alive. It is Tuesday June 3rd 2025, we started the Camino today from ST Jean Pied de Port to refuge Orisson. It was a three hour hike up 2100’. We knew it was going to be difficult but it was more difficult than we imagined. Now we rest, stretch, eat, and walk again tomorrow.
What fundamental life lessons and core values would you like to instill in your future self? Live the moment not the future, that’s impossible. Be present in your thoughts and actions. Be present and genuine in your conversations, let that be your gift and love to the world.
What is currently defining your life in this moment? Worry and fear. Worry and fear have not been so present and influential in my life, why now? I think I am afraid of the shaking my hands are doing lately. Afraid of what it might mean. I am also not enjoying my excess weight and my lack of effort to fix it. I also don’t appreciate not going to the gym. You have to put in the work to get the reward. Let’s face this fear, overcome this challenge and let it inspire us to overcome some other challenges, like the gym.
What aspirations, intentions, and dreams are you nurturing for your Future Self? Get back to the present. Get back to the man I was with the wisdom I have gained. Get back to “Father……….Father……….the sleeper has awakened” I AM is your father so then what shall I fear…….Nothing.
What do you hope to have left behind? Fear and doubt. Limits and worry. Why it hasn’t happened and isn’t happening and if it were, worry, fear, and doubt wouldn’t fix it.
Be the light. Be the love. Really WWJD?
Let’s do this!!!!!
