A note to self from future you

Let’s imagine I’ve whisked us forward in time until just after you’ve done that thing you’re worried about.

You know the one:

  • Had the interview

  • Made it through the first year in the new role

  • Decided whether to stay or go

  • Moved cities

  • Tackled that tough conversation

  • Set up your work so you’re doing more of what you love (and saying no to what you don’t)

Here in that future time, it’s all gone perfectly. Better than you could have dreamed. It’s a very nice place to be! Enjoy that feeling.

So tell me, as we sit here basking in all this success…. If you look all the way back in time to today, seeing everything that’s happened since that day and now, everything that brought you here to this place of incredible accomplishment, what advice would you give to the you that’s sitting back there about to begin?

Do that!

Until next week,

Take care of yourself and others
Madeleine
