Learn to build a powerful bridge between your FUTURE SELF tomorrow and your CURRENT SELF.

- Start to see the positive rewards, immediately.

All of us have an idea of who we desire to be in the future. We may imagine working at a top company, having an amazingly healthy and fit body, a million dollars in the bank, traveling the world on wonderful holidays, and being surrounded by people that we love.

These are great dreams to have and aspire to and work towards.

So, why are we not able to translate and connect our future self vision into taking positive action every day? When we grab that extra slice of pizza, or when we press the snooze button on the alarm.

What is missing are simple and easy bridge builders to make that connection from the future and deliver it to the present to enable us to take daily actions.

1. Breaking down our vision into simple goals is a key bridge-builder to the future.

Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement - Brain Tracy.

Getting to our future self consists of many paths, and writing down goals that align with your future self helps create that first step towards that dream vision or dream house. If you are looking to save an X amount by the time you retire, then it’s good to set an annual savings target, and then break that down by 4 for your quarter goal. Once the quarter goal is in place, then it makes it easier to focus on just taking small daily actions on that goal.

2. Imagine your future self vision daily.

"The man who has no imagination has no wings."- Muhammad Ali.

Journalling, visualizing, and seeing with the heart, mind, and emotions, what it would feel like and look like really helps to bring that future vision self into the present moment, and creates a mental and emotional boost of energy to carry out the goals for the day. Seeing and feeling are believing. Write about what you are working towards, and the kind of life that you would like to live. The beautiful possibilities of dreaming big.

3. Measure, track and celebrate daily progress.

“What you focus on expands” - Esther Jno-Charles.

When we start noticing and focussing on our daily efforts, our minds, hearts, and emotions start paying attention to that this is important to us. We are then able to develop greater focus and actions on those daily goals. We start improving with daily learning and feedback from the day’s efforts. Let’s start tracking to see improvement.

So, let’s start crossing the bridge towards that bright and beautiful future.

Hope this is helpful in your Shine Journey to be inspired, learn, grow, get better and shine a little brighter, not just in our own lives, but in our families and the world around us, in small, simple, and easy ways.

Remember, Shine starts with small, and if sustained daily, becomes significant over time.

Shine On, and wishing you the best to inspire and help others shine as well!
