Future Self

Dear Future Self,

Hopefully, by the time you read this letter, your goals and aspirations will be conquered. I hope we’re able to go back and smile at what we’ve achieved in your life. I hope that we don't have to struggle any more than we have in the past. I just know that at this time in our life, we will be more successful and fulfilled than ever. I hope that our ideals of success still incorporate my daily routine. Accomplishing the little things throughout our day was the thing that kept us going. I know that we are going to make ourselves proud, but also the ones who are around us.

We will be successful. We will be successful. We will be successful.

We will strive to be successful with the beautiful life we were given. We will get over that fear of failing or not doing enough to reach our goals. We will always remember to take a deep breath and take one step at a time to get our hard work accomplished. The ambitions we’ve set up for the past have already been mastered and persevered. I hope for our present and future selves you were able to keep your head up, and you can say, you did it! With all your hard work, hopefully, you took time to enjoy family and friends to take your mind off of your prosperous life. Give yourself a chance to recuperate and to continue the journey of hard work you have been doing. Blocking out the negative energy that is around us and making sure we stay positive no matter what circumstances that we are currently in. Even when you fall make sure to get back up and keep going on. I pray that whatever you want to do in your current life brings you happiness so that one day the happiness and positivity can be spread to others around you. This positivity and clarity that we have built for ourselves will hopefully become something that we can be proud of. I hope that by now we have found peace and something that will make our life complete.

Sincerely,

Past Self
