Do You Have A Future Self Blueprint?

Do You Have A Future Self Blueprint

Before we can build the home of our dreams we need to have a blueprint, we need to know exactly what we want in our new home.

We need to know many specific details like the size of the home, how many rooms, materials to be used, single-story or multiple, the list goes on to the minutest details before a blow is struck.

It’s exactly the same with our future selves. We need to know who we want to be say, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years from now.

If we want our future self to be substantially different from our current self, we need to create a blueprint of our future self. We need to get to work thinking, planning, reflecting, and imagining, who I would like to be in the future.

Our future dream home just doesn’t show up without a blueprint in our mind or in my hand. It’s the same with our future selves. We need to consciously know where we are going. If we don’t, every road will take us there.

If we don’t, what will we be in the future?

Most probably a future self, similar to who we are now, with possibly some cosmetic changes or we will be exactly the same, just a tad older.

What could be included on the list (blueprint) of things to upgrade and create a new and improved future version of ourselves?

• Purpose Upgrade – Now, at our new stage of life, has our purpose changed? Did we ever have a purpose? What could our purpose be for our future self?
• Mindset upgrade – How do we see the world now? Do we need to upgrade our thinking about the world, our thinking about business, our thinking about relationships and people? The world is rapidly changing and we need to keep up with it or get left behind.
• Values & Beliefs Upgrade – What values and beliefs are now outdated? What do I need to become conscious of and let go of? What new values and beliefs do I need to adopt in my life now? “What got me here, won’t get me there”.
• Identity Upgrade – Who do you want to be and how do you want to show up in the world? What identity do you need to take on to be your future self? how will you walk talk, dress, smell? What identity do you need to take on to create magic in your life?
• Skills & Capabilities Upgrade – What new skills and capabilities do you want to discover, learn & apply in your life? Do you want to completely change careers, and live your dream job? What new skills will get you there?
• Behaviors Upgrade – What new behaviors would you like to adopt and enjoy? Once you develop a new positive habit, you will have it for life. How would that impact your future self? Imagine one new habit per month over a year.
• Environmental Upgrade – Where do you want to live, and who do you want to live with? Who would you like to surround yourself with on a daily basis? What material possessions do you want to have that will make your life easier and more enjoyable?

If we want to live our lives on purpose and create a purposeful future self, we need a blueprint, we need a plan. We need to know where we are going, how we will get there, and what it will look like when we arrive.

We need to get to work and be proactive, we need to be mindful, we need to be conscious, and we need to be at cause in our lives and take action.

We will spend more time and money upgrading our phones and laptops and leave the most powerful computer of all, our brain/mind, to chance, go figure.

I don’t know about you, but during this current lockdown, I’m doing a deep dive into my personal computer and giving it another upgrade. It’s an ongoing process.
