Take Action From Your Ideal Self

Today I pushed hard.

Harder than I’ve pushed myself all year.

I ran uphill. And I didn’t stop once.

Current me doesn’t do that.

Current me gives up and walks the hard bits.

Current me procrastinates for hours and doesn't run for a second longer than she has to.

But today I didn’t take action from current me.

I took action from the person I want to be.

The whole time I was thinking, "Michael Jordan would do it."

I ran the whole way, uphill, and took the long route.

If you take action from your current self, you’ll get the same results that your current self is getting.

But when you take action from your ideal self, you'll get results that your ideal self creates.

Because you can’t get from A to B with the mindset you have at A.

You have to step into the mindset you will have at B before you arrive at B.

In other words: the only way to get from A to B is to BE the person at B.
