How fascinating is it, that the human who is writing these texts is born 24 years ago from the day now! Yes, today’s my birthday.

I woke up as every regular day but today there were amazing vibes flowing through me, I don’t know how.

I celebrated my first birthday when I was 22, and I have never posted anything on social media regarding my personal life.

But all people whom you can’t hide your date of birth are your family (including closest friends).

In the morning I got so many wishes from family and friends, I replied to everyone with complete serenity.

The whole day was awesome for me as I celebrated with my family. But later at 11:30 pm, something strikes my mind that causes me to write this.

.

The thing was my thought that

‘Vicky, now you are 24 and soon will be 30, time is flowing like a smooth river and you still haven’t reached where you wanna be.

What will you become till 25 age and all the random questions surrounding me?
Ahh! I sigh, forget it let’s sleep.

Suddenly when I closed my eyes ‘my future self’ appears in front of me like real, he was young, happy and looking better than me now.

In the back of my mind, I was calming myself that it was just a dream, but when he started to speak I became ‘thoughtless’.

He said – Thank you, Vicky, I am so happy and successful because of you, if you haven’t worked that hard I will never be in this state ever.

I found his voice has some weight and attractiveness, but hesitatingly I asked, How? what me-why? the reason?

I was feeling confused and happy at the same time.

He replied – I am you, at age 36 but don’t know how I came here. Well if I am here this is a good opportunity to tell you things you should be aware of already. So you shouldn’t be distracted from your path.

It was better to be confused but now it’s terrifying. What path? how you can be I? go away! I don’t wanna anything.

I don’t know how I am here, the last thing I remember is that I was reading a book before sleeping. – He replied frequently.

Suddenly he start disappearing like a technical glitch on Tv due to bad signals, he was shouting listen-listen-listen…

I take a sigh of relief but also was curious to know what he want to say.

The last words he said before disappearing were” I am happy here”.

And those words stuck in my head like a mark of permanent marker on a white sheet.

.

He said he was happy there! it means all the actions I will take now will affect my future for sure.

If I will not take the right actions he will not be happy there, which means I will not be happy in the future.

Before this self-talk becomes a bubble of overthinking and I forget the crucial message of my future self I should note it down.

Thanks to me’, for daily journaling habit before sleep, I picked up my diary and pen.

And write these 5 crucial coded things I understood that my future self want to tell me before disappear.

Don’t ask how I know all this while even future-self was not able to speak up. It will be silly, he is me. And the present me also can understand the future and past me.

Here are the 5 points your future self wants to tell you.

1. You are the only hope for your future self.

All the hopes of the future (your name), rest on your present self.

Remember the cause-and-effect game.

Whatever you do or do not will become a major cause and will affect you either in a positive or negative way directly to your future self.

A single misdirection can lead you to an unhappy life, focusing on the path can lead to a life (what you call ‘success’).

2. Just work selflessly.

Lord Krishna told this ; Just work selflessly (बस निस्वार्थ भाव से कर्म करो) in Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta.

It simply means to do your work (कर्म) without much caring for results (फल).

Whatever you do, don’t think much of why you are doing it, what will happen, blah blah. Just enjoy doing it for only enough reason.

Because on the truth(spiritual) level you are neither the cause nor the doer.

Take every challenge as an adventure, and keep reminding yourself ‘I can do it,

Just enjoy the process and you will never need motivation again.

3. You can’t give up.

Now you understand the importance of your time, you know in future you will be the successful person you think of.

But this thing also has its hidden term & condition and that is you are not allowed to give up.

Nope, not for even a day or second. Only you and you only will do the all necessities needed to achieve the right path.

So, if not yet, from this point onwards it’s time to stand up strong like a warrior.

Be a warrior, and confront every single obstacle in your fucking way.

But,

If you want to quit your dream and don’t wanna be what you desire, it’s better to give up now! and live a mediocre life, because success never goes to people who are in dilemma.

Still,

If your answer is clear cut – Yes! then remember, there is no comeback from this path.

Your future self’s all hope is on you. Thus, the give-up option doesn’t exist for you.

4. Be like water.

In this world only change is constant. Being rigid leads you to nowhere.

Even every month our body changes the old skin, and every second there are new births and deaths.

Do you remember being a child you cried for candies, then to own toys, to get your favourite video game, to wear stylish clothes to now

Your desires keep upgrading themself and will, till you not understand its trap ways.

The point to be noted here is to accept the change, be like water – take any form still being water.

Remove rigidness – Don’t think the things which are seen as till now will be seen as same in future. Till 2020 I liked Bollywood songs, these days I like rap songs & maybe something else after 2 months.

How can we assume that things will be the same after 10 years?

Check yourself what is changed in the last 5 years for you.

5. Feel the importance of people around you.

You know that one day you will die, the same rule applies to every living organism, and your beloved ones also.

Including your friends, cousins, relatives, mom and dad but the point is to ask a question yourself.

That is – Do I really value them?

My breaths become difficult whenever I saw a bad dream about my parent’s death, I literally wake up with a crying face and the first thing I make sure to see them both.

This happen two times till now and believe me every time I was scared to death.

I thank god a million times, that they are alive and in good health, but here is a harsh reality also with it.

I can see time flowing, they are ageing, I can’t stop this and the only thing left for me to do is to live to the fullest, create great memories, make them proud, ensure their happiness and do whatever I can for them.

Accordingly, the most important thing my ‘future self’ wants me to realize is this!

Be close to your parents – as you can see change by minutes your parent see by years. Many times they scold you even if it seems right to you. Be more polite, try to understand their point of view, and respect their suggestions. It is possible that their way may not be likeable or you might think there’s a generation gap, but remember that they have experienced more life than you which is proof that you yourself are a mature person now.

Hope you will understand. 🎯❤️👪

Epilogue

After good research and practice, I finally figure out how anybody can talk to their future self at any time.

Do you wanna know it?

If yes, here it is!

If it is your first time, you will require quietness, take it like a mediation.

To see your future self in front of you:-

Take 3 deep breaths, in and out, Close your eyes and sit calmly.

First, observe your past self like say what/who I was 5 years ago,

then create a mental image and call your future self in front of you (imagine his looks, behaviour, attitude)

Slowly remove the ‘past-self’ image.

Now sit in front of your Future self.

Don’t force yourself on anything like asking questions etc. only let him/her speak just listen, just listen…

Let whatever is happening…be patient…
