I found this post by “Humans of New York” (amazing by the way!) where this girl says that while you live now and focus on the you of now and party and drink and make mistakes you run the risk of never becoming or perhaps even destroying the you of the future all together! This kind of scares the crap out of me! I already feel like for the last 10 years I haven’t exactly been a model citizen, daughter, co-worker, friend etc. I mean have I just taken those 10 years from that other self? GUESS SO and THAT SUCKS!
My eyes are feeling forced open at this point in time and I feel like my idea for THE 30 needs to be kicked into hyper drive. I guess I hide, I hide from life, from the future and then it hit me I am hiding from the future ME!
Sometimes I think our environments and society help us hide or provide us with 1000 reasons to put off the people we know deep down we are destined to become. Let's face it life is full of important procrastinations, reasons not to diet, not to workout...I call it the 'TOMORROW SYNDROME'.
So I think that the way forward is to adopt the 'TODAY SYNDROME'. Because the me of today has a direct influence on the me of tomorrow. Whilst scary- this is a powerful motivator, sometimes we need to check ourselves. Where are we in our lives, relationships, friendships, health wise...the list goes on and on.
So give the you of tomorrow the best foundation with the you of today!
