One Apple A Day #650 - The Two Me
There are two me. One is the present "me", the person I am, today. The second one is the future me, the person I want to be tomorrow.
My future self is a dreamy guy. He is resourceful, creative and abundant, with plenty of audacious goals and ambition. He relentlessly makes plans and design actions to fully realise his potential. He is the man of intentions.
My present self is a matter-of-fact person. The one who has to realise the plans made by the other me. But he has to deal with the limitations and boundaries of reality, and that often trigger a scarcity mindset. He is the man of actions.
When they are out of synch, things can become complicated. The future me feels hampered by the present one, and that creates frustration in him. The present me feels pressured and misunderstood. When this happens, intentions and actions seem to follow different paths.
Sometimes, they act as a perfect team. Each one selflessly serving the other. Intentions flow into actions, and magic happens.
