Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to
prepare for each challenge alongthe way towards success.
It's not simple, but it can bedone.
Welcome to my Common SenseMotivation episodes.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
Your future self is watchingyou.
Let's stop playing games.

(00:20):
You may think today doesn'tmatter.
You may think skipping thatworkout, brushing off your plan,
ignoring your vision or givingin to that same old excuse.
But let me tell you somethingreal.
Your future self is watchingyou and they're not watching
casually.
They're watching with hope.
They're watching to see ifyou're going to fight for them

(00:41):
or forget them.
There's a version of you astronger, wiser and more
powerful version, who alreadyhas the life you want.
They've already overcome thepain you're in.
They've already achieved thegoals you keep talking about.
They've already reached thefuture you dream about when
you're lying awake at night.
And here's the part most peoplemiss that version of you only

(01:05):
exists if you show up today.
Not tomorrow, Not when it'sconvenient, Not when life clears
the path, but today, Becausetoday is where the groundwork is
laid.
Today is where the habits areformed.
Today is where the excuses aredefeated or allowed to win.

(01:26):
Your future self is watching andasking did you push yourself
today or did you settle?
Did you follow the plan or didyou let distractions reroute
your focus?
Did you speak life overyourself or did you let doubt
write the script?
Did you act like your dream waspossible or did you treat it
like a fantasy?
And let's be real.

(01:47):
You don't drift into greatness.
You don't stumble into purpose.
You don't wish your way to thetop.
You build it one choice at atime, one focus, day after
another, one disciplined momentstacked on top of another.

(02:11):
Your future self, the one withpeace in their heart, financial
freedom in their life, legacy intheir name and power in their
presence.
They're counting on you to holdthe line.
They're not asking forperfection.
They're asking for consistency.
They're not asking forshortcuts.
They're asking for directions,discipline and decisions.
Don't leave them disappointed,Because the truth is, if you

(02:31):
don't choose that future, if youlet comfort win, if you keep
telling yourself, someday you'llstill meet a future version of
you, but it will be the one whohas to live with regret, the one
who says I wish I had done morewith my life, my gift, and
that's a hard pill to swallow.
So today, decide this I willmove with intention.

(02:54):
I will protect my vision.
I will act like the person Iwant to become is depending on
me, Because they are your futureself is watching you Make every
decision today with the goal ofmaking them proud tomorrow.
Make it happen.
