The Past and Future Meet: An Improbable Conversation Across Time
YGT Up Before The Sun Private Group
🌅 Up before the sun with gratitude on my mind... I sit alone on this park bench, lost in my thoughts, waiting for the sun. All of a sudden, a massive explosion of light temporarily blinds me. As my vision slowly returns, a strange sensation washes over me. I blink once... then twice...what I see is hard to comprehend. A figure appears before me, radiating success, confidence, healing, and self-assuredness. Once the blinding light recedes, my confusion increases - I'm staring into a face all too familiar. It's me.
With a gentle smile and eyes filled with wisdom, I look at my future self and he says, "This is not a dream, I am you and You are me! We previously existed in different times along the same plane. I’ve come from the future, my time is short, no time to explain."
I blink in disbelief. "This can't be real," I stammer.
"Oh, but it is," future-me replies. "I've come to remind you of something important, something you often forget as you navigate the challenges of life."
I gaze at my future self, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension. "What do you mean?"
"Remember those countless pitfalls you faced, the moments when all hope seemed lost? Those times when you doubted yourself, when you thought the doubters were right?"
I nod slowly, memories of heartaches, failures, and struggles flooding back. "I remember."
"Well," future-me continues, "those very experiences were the building blocks of your success. They were the raw materials from which you crafted the tools you needed to make it."
I frown, unable to comprehend. "But how? How did those difficult moments lead to...this?" I gesture at my future self, who seems to embody everything I aspired to be.
My future self leans in closer, their eyes filled with understanding. "You see, beloved, it was during those challenging times that you developed resilience. It was when you faced adversity head-on that you discovered your inner strength. You learned to adapt, to persevere, to believe in yourself when no one else did."
I listen intently, absorbing every word. The doubts and insecurities that had haunted me for years seem to evaporate in the presence of my future self's wisdom.
"Every pitfall," they continue, "was like a piece of a puzzle, a puzzle that eventually revealed the bigger picture of your life. You learned to be resourceful, to find solutions where others saw only problems."
Tears well up in my eyes as I begin to understand. The struggles I had endured were not signs of weakness but stepping stones on the path to success.
My future self pats my shoulder reassuringly. "You did it, beloved. You faced your fears, your doubts, and your failures with courage. You didn't just survive; you thrived."
As I look at my future self, a newfound sense of hope and determination wells up within me. The doubts and fears that had held me back for so long are replaced with a deep sense of self-assurance.
"I can do it," I whisper, more to myself than to my future self.
"Yes, you can," they reply with a knowing smile. "Believe in yourself, for you have already overcome so much. The journey ahead will be challenging, but remember this moment. Remember that you are stronger than you think, and you have the tools to make it."
With those words of encouragement, my future self begins to fade away, leaving me with a profound sense of gratitude and self-belief. As I watch them disappear, I know that I have been given a priceless gift—the gift of faith in myself. From that day forward, I walk a little taller, my steps a bit more purposeful, for I have seen what I can become, and I am ready to embrace the journey ahead.
