Write a letter to your past self
When I started my journey into coaching & transformation work 7 years ago, I was 23 years old, bright eyed, super unaware of what I was getting myself into….afraid to really put myself out there, seeking multiple degrees and certifications simply to prove my worth, and questioning every move I made. Was I good enough? Did I know enough? Would anyone take me seriously?
A few weeks ago, my mentor, had me write a letter to that Harry.
Here’s what I wrote:
Dear Harry….(from Harry from the future)
You will break down on this journey more than you could ever imagine. The breakdowns will be so bad they will leave you wanting to run and hide and go back into safety. But the rewards and breakthroughs and the relationships you will acquire will be so incredible that you will be continuously reminded of why you do this work.
I want you to know that the you that you think is you is not really you and all those parts of you that you disliked so much.. you will eventually begin to love and celebrate… you’ll begin to laugh and smile and do high kicks and share your voice in ways you never imagined. You will be reborn in this process. You will show up unafraid and in loving service.
You will touch the hearts of many people and evolve into a completely new person who knows himself so deeply.
Remember when you couldn’t dare utter to people what you do….Well today you speak to rooms with thousands of people and are helping people. Truly helping people.
You will learn to become 100% resourceful + responsible in figuring out how to break-free from the confines and limitations of the mind… and this physical world….. And support people in doing the same.
& you’re just getting started. There’s no rush..no timeline. For all you have is now. So enjoy today. HAVE FUN. Trust that you are already enough & have all the wisdom already within you. Keep seeking your soul’s expansion.
You will lose a lot of people in this journey..
And will have your heart broken a lot too…. but you will get there.. And you will attract the most beautiful heart centered conscious humans of the world.
You’re so fuc%ing loved. Keep going.
Harry from the Future
I leave you with this quote:
“For what it’s worth... it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.”
