It’s an easy trap to fall into. In fact, it’s not so much a trap as the normal course…
We act today to justify how we were yesterday. And we do the same tomorrow, and the next day and the next day…
I know I’ve done this—many times. We all do it, I think.
It’s just easier to keep repeating our patterns, especially when we interact with other people. We find it much less embarrassing than choosing something different; much more comfortable to reflect the past than be authentic in the present.
Instead…
Much better to visualise the future we want and bring that into the present.
But being authentic in that way today might mean accepting we were mistaken yesterday.
Are you up for that?
