Will Your Future-Self Be Proud of What You Have Done with Your Life?

in #life5 years ago

Hi, Steemians!

For some people, their hero is themselves but many years in the future when they will eventually meet and decide how they have spent their life.

Ask yourself this question: If you were to see your future-self, would you be proud of the person you have become, or will you just be an old man full of regret, counting his days until they come to an end?

There will come a day when you will be shown a vision. The vision of everything you could have been and everything you could have accomplished; the person you could have become.

An image of your ideal-self who has lived a brilliant life.

On that day, you will either know the know the person or he will be a complete stranger to you.

You may know him a bit, which means you have walked towards your destiny a bit.

You may know him very well, which means that you have nearly accomplished everything that you were born to do.

You may also come to think that he might be your identical twin, and that is a fulfilled and accomplished life.

Let us not wait for that day. Try to imagine that vision. Try to think about that person right now. How close do you resemble him?

Think about your thoughts, your words, and your actions. Do they fall to harmony with that image?

Think about your decisions. Do they get you closer to realizing that vision and turning it into a reality?

Because if the answer is no, you are doing everything wrong.

Your life is a road. A difficult and turbulent road. At the very end stands a person waiting years on end for you to finally meet him.

Will you be ashamed of that person, or will you keep your face up and stand proud when you confront him?

Try to be mindful of the person who is waiting for you in the future.

Always keep him in mind. Think every thought, say every word, and do every deed in a manner that would make him or her proud.

There may be a lot of eyes on you even now, all expecting you to become successful in life.

But remember, most important of all is the person who is standing at the end of the road patiently waiting for you to reach him and make him proud.

Do not live your life with the regret of past decisions.

If you have ever thought or said or done something that would bring shame to that person, make a decision here and now and make sure that it was the last thought, word, or action that did not fall into harmony with your vision.

It is only then when you will live a life of happiness, without regret or fear, without the constant haunting thought that you may be doing it all wrong.

Think of that vision, and keep it close in your mind and in your soul.

Ask this question: Will your future ideal-self be proud or ashamed of who you will eventually become?

A BIG HUG!

@chbartist sir
We can not evaluate our work ourselves. I am not completely convinced that we have done something to pride ourselves in the future. Yes, it is definitely done that intentionally has not harmed anyone, has not broken anyone's faith, has not hurt anyone's feelings, has given equal respect to everyone, has not cheated on anyone, and those things on his own Do not dominate those who lead us towards the ego.
Our good deeds are accounted for by God and that is why our good deeds make our identity in this world. I believe that with the positive thinking, starting the day and ending the day without hurting anybody, the day is the biggest capital accumulated for the future, which gives us a little scope to take pride in ourselves.
Thank you for your great learning.

Progression is the key, and not perfection. Very impactful article... thank you for your great learning.

Hello @chbartist ,
I agree with you that we should not ignore those people who have some expectations from us. We should respect their expectations.
Thank you for the work you are putting to combine this community. I really appreciate your efforts.
I believe in "united we stand, divided we fall". We togather can win.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Please let me know if i can do anything.

Who doesn’t want to be proud? At the ending period of life everyone sitting idle, calculate what he/she accumulated in the past long life if he/she did something good that made them proud and did something wrong that made them regretful, it varies person to person on which track he/she interested to run their lives, someone gets pleasure hutting others on the other hand someone gets pleasure by helping, actually your excellent writing inspires us to be much more generous to the God's creatures of the temporary living world and to be prouder of ourself, respected by the society and get consultations for our nice work, we're eagerly waiting for our nice future, may God bless us to be successful in our dream.

Nice post @chbartist.
It is important to watch the kind of activities we carry out in our youthful days because most of the time, the repercussions are not experienced immediately. Also most regrets in later life are tied down to "use of precious time" in one's early years.
Time is precious and once lost it cannot be gotten again. Hence it's best for Young Minds to maximally use their time and opportunities while young and full of energy.

An excellent overview @chbartist and you are right, a view of yourself in the future is a very important thing and we should always do it. We all go somewhere and strive for our goals, but without a clear idea of the completion of our journey it is not possible to assess our future and what it will be!

Saludos @chbartist! Se trata de vivir el presente como uno desea vivir, feliz con lo que se tiene, y con el entusiasmo que el camino que se esta recorriendo nos lleva a la meta; la satisfacción de haber tenido una vida plena!

Gracias @chbartist!

Great article,However so far I haven't done a job on which I can feel proud but I am constantly trying .

Posted using Partiko Android

Keep on doing whatever you do and later you realise that you did tremendous job and will be proud of. You only need to give your best with full dedication.

All you can do is all you can do.

I agree very much with your post. There is so much in life that we miss out on because we do not want to leave our comfort zone or due to fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, judgement, the list goes on and on. But by developing a clear vision and honestly assessing where you are in terms of reaching that vision is the way to go. I would like to also add that you will probably not know the roads to take to get to your future self so that is why I feel it is so important on having a mentor that has what you want in your life. Following the footsteps of another successful person (and I mean this in a way that isn't necessarily about money or status) and learn how to become and have what you so desire. Association matters! If you want to elevate your mindset and your dreans, you need to associate with others who will lift you up not bring you down.

Thank you for sharing!

Satan loves nothing more than to remind one of past sins which God, via Jesus have forgiven. I am a firm believer that the past can serve as a springboard...teachable moment...to those coming behind; as well as those going through what you've experienced.

Peace.

In order for our future to be cloudless and our loved ones and ourselves could be proud of us, we must create it right now so that it would not be a shame later

Good message. I think that our future depends for the most part on us, since we think about it and present it and do everything to make us proud

We should be considerate for the people who expect from us or considering ourself as their idol. Evaluating ourself is very difficult but may be later stage of time we can evaluate but immediately not possible for me. Nice post @chbartist

This is really inspiring and very much needed. I will also resteem this. Please include me in your community, I am new here.

I guess My future self will somehow be proud of my decisions.
this blog was thoughtful indeed,
Keep up with such amazing content.

It's hard for me to imagine being proud of my future self. Not because I think that my life is going in a completely wrong direction, but because it is always hard for me to accept the thought that I might be doing something right. - I am working on that, though, so hopefully I will one day say that I can be proud not only of my future self but also of my present self.

What a style.
Please help me in steemit because i am new comer.

That's a really good question to ask ourselves. I guess my future self would still be proud of what my old self have gone through to get there.
We make mistakes and learned from them. All those scars defines who we are in the future.

It is always better not to look back at what I have done in the past years. I cant deny that I am still confused with my future and what I will do. Maybe I change my goals very fast and dont accomplish all of them. I need to be more disciplined :)

@chbartist very well said
we must do those things that are related to our better self, so we won't regret in future.

Good questions. Thinking of what legacy we leave gives one a whole new perspective.

Yes @chbartist we have the only way to move forward in life that be self proud for that what we have done.

Posted using Partiko Android

Yes, of course, I know what I have achieved and what legacy I will leave be for posterity. So in all I am proud that I lived the life which pleases my Saviour and creator knowing the account I will give to him will be all I have done on earth both in my body.

Be yourself. Do what you would do without pressure or external influence. Don't alter your decisions based on external stimuli. Focus on yourself and your deeds should be help you, not to please others.
If you can do this, you need not worry about your future self. Live life in present. Make decisions now. Leave the future self in future. Enjoy dear Steemians.

The most fulfilled life is when we're happy regardless of anything that may happen, may it be pain, suffering or death.
A peaceful man could smile even if he's tortured to death.
Could we do it?

Will Your Future-Self Be Proud of What You Have Done with Your Life?
This is a very important question that only a few people will know the answer ... post is worth reading, reflecting and a lively discussion ...

We are when fully satisfied that the exciting facilities provide sufficient funding for the foreseeable future.

Muy compicado el tema planteado en esta publicaciòn, porque el futuro nunca lo vemos; siempre se vive el presente y en el presente hablamos del fururo y nunca nos damos cuenta cuando el fururo se hace presente. De acuerdo que solo del pasado se tomaran las referencias positivas que nos permitan actuar en el presente. Asì que el mañana no lo vemos llegar.!

Hi steemers @chbartist, Yes i was proudly fill to become a group member of @chbartist .i was learning somany knowledgable views from your community. Thanks to u all.

If any body read my massage. If u think its readable thought means like it.

Oh yes @chbartist, great motivation for us and we must always present ourselves in the future and see what we are striving for. This will give us a better idea of what needs to be done and in which direction to move!

You have to clarify that not to achieve be what yearn for US, despite the fact that in this we strive to do this, we are unable to repent in the future of what we are. Especially if we have dedicated our life to help be happy to other

My future self would be proud to see me make the best from my failures and mistakes as I continue to forge forward to my goals! I am gratefuk for all the experiences I have had as it becomes my foundation.

Sorry for being always a bit critical of your articles, but I feel that it might be a good balance 😅

While I think that living up to a future self can inspire good actions, I wonder if the act of comparison is all too helpful.

The base of my argument being that comparing always implies some kind of struggle. For example, I feel that I do not live a good life, but I tell myself that one day I will be better. Such thinking means that my mind is in constant conflict with itself. I will always feel that I should be different.

Instead, what happens when I accept my current state? What happens when I actually see my behavior as being wrong without trying to change it? Perhaps in this lies the first step in changing?

Anyway, keep up the good work 👍😊

Future is that well happy after the present this is a subject of proud if we likely to successful survive.

Something to think about, indeed.. And very #timely!

Thanks, @chbartist!!!

Someone once told me a magic trick to make sure that I die without regrets. Wanna know the trick?

ALWAYS IDEALIZE YOUR FUTURE SELF.

I love the way you present abstract ideas 💯

Ohh…..God, what a wisdom??? thank you very much. this ignites the inner self. it awaken the spirit. Bless You!!!

Me gustó tu publicación y estoy haciendo el ejercicio.
No estoy satisfecha.... estoy pensando mucho y no me siento bien....
Debo pensar en como revertir mis sentimientos.....
Solo me gustó tu publicación.
No voy a escribir más. solo me gustó...

rightly said @chbartist. I think our future-self has a lot to do with what we do with our present-self because most people plant a rock in the present and hope to find a huge tree in the future and this is practically not possible.
Thank you for this message, it is indeed timely. You are the best!

yo se una formula mas eficaz y realmente ayunen en una iglesia cristiana y listo. recibiran un mensaje de Dios

Well people today I ask you to leave your maximum support that I want to buy a new cell phone because I do not know and if you support me I will support them.

Thank you for your attention I hope you support me.

goodbye

Yes, of course, I know what I have achieved and what legacy I will leave behind for posterity. So in all I am proud that I lived the life which pleases my Saviour and creator knowing the account I will give to him will be all I have done on earth both in my body.

Nice bro
A good post quite emotional, do not miss anything with reading it, on the contrary, you earn a lot, thanks for doing it and thanks to the good community that there is, as a new member that I am I think the community is very nice and do not try to make it I hurt nobody here, they take this seriously and with an atmosphere of kindness

Great post. Life is about having aims to achieve, dreams to reach, that is what it makes sense.

My future self would be proud of me, why? Because I know it.😀 😀 😀

Do not go back but go ahead, the future ahead of you and the past behind you learn from your mistakes in the past to succeed in your life
