#546 – How does your past determine your future?

It doesn’t. If it did, sudden ruin would be impossible, no one would ever win the lottery or make a scientific discovery worth a Nobel Prize, and no one would’ve solved Fermat’s Last Theorem.

And Bad Bunny wouldn’t have performed the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

So, why do you keep using your past to predict your future?

It all comes down to the subsidized tenant you allow in your mind: your Ego.

Because it fears the unknown (aka, anything that hasn’t happened yet) it convinces you that it does know what will happen. That’s obviously not true: it doesn’t know because the future can’t be known or predicted.

In its hubris, it makes up some projections based on your life history. It uses your past as proof that the thing you want can or cannot be. If you’ve had it before, it tells you it’s possible––realistic. Otherwise, it presses its lips and shakes its head no––sorry, not for you!

That’s when your self-doubt becomes so strong that you drop your desire.

Ego, 1; Inner Being, 0.

If you want to keep going and see your desire to become a reality, you need to stop listening to your Ego. To busy your mind with the satisfaction of your achievement, even when it hasn’t happened yet.

That’s how you’ll be able to continue to believe in yourself. And that belief will carry you forward.

What do you desire that’s not happened yet for you?

Love,
