The Person You Want To Become Is Not Far Away From You

Future You Is Not Hidden In The Future

What do you need to feel like her or him?
Do you need extra millions of dollars?
Do you need that penthouse in the heart of the city?
Do you need that mansion you have stuck the pictures off to your vision board?
Do you really need to pay for something external to feel like something internal?

What else might you need?
Maybe that specific person who will save you from neediness for being saved.
Maybe that person who you think should tell you that you are perfect and that you are everything they ever needed.
Maybe a person who will heal your wounds truly but unable to delete the existence of them unless you accept them the way they are.

Do you need inner peace to feel like the person you want to become?
Do you need travel plans without the worry of money?
Do you need an unlimited amount of clothes from your fav brands that you can wear without the fear of tearing them?

I am asking genuinely what do you need?
But I already know the answer.

Nothing.

Because ironically nothing you do will directly affect the way you feel about yourself.
It can change your lifestyle, activities you are busy doing, upgrade the products you use.
It can even help you build and make a new body for you, but one thing won’t be changed at the end of the day.

The voice in your heart.

During all the ups and downs of life, your inner voice will stay untouchable, irreplaceable, unflexible.

To feel and to be the person you want to become, your inner voice should be able to say it confidently.

Can you hear it?

“I am a successful writer!”,

“I am an entrepreneur!”

“I am the boss of my life and I am free!”

That person… It is right here, right now
Reading these sentences and dreaming about oneself.

Make sure your inner voice is ready to say who you are before you see it. While we are busy with our work, it can get ignored and never really keep up with what is going on in our lives.
Then once we succeed, it won’t still feel like success after all.
