But the question is, are you actually getting better?

Well, when I turned 30 years old, which is now over a decade ago, that question hit me like a fucking truck, because I realized that I was getting older, but just because I was getting older didn't mean that I was becoming the person that I wanted to be. And I was in the middle of the biggest life shift that I had ever had, and I needed to look at my life and become very intentional about who I was becoming and what I was actually doing with myself and my life. And so I made some very intentional changes about the way that I lived my life, and looking back now, I can tell you that those changes completely shifted the trajectory of my life and where it was headed. And so today, I'm going to show you those seven biggest shifts that I made and how you can actually make them in your life if you want to. So number one was this. I started asking myself, what would the future version of me do right now? And so I have become, over the past decade, a little bit more than a decade, very intentional about where my life is going. I started to actually plan my life out in vivid detail, as if I was writing like a screenplay. And I knew in so much detail exactly what it is that I wanted, from there, what I needed to figure out is who I needed to be in order to create that life. And so the version of me that needs to create that life, and I became clear on every single detail that I possibly could about the person who created the life that I'm working to build. From everything from who they are, what they do, what time they wake up, what type of food do they eat, who do they talk to, how do they talk to themselves, how do they talk to their employees, what does an average Tuesday look like for them, what type of husband are they, what type of parents are they? Every single detail that I possibly could. So I built out my life in Vivid Detail and then I built out the future version of me in Vivid Detail. And that version of me is now my filter for everything that I do. And so before I make a decision, I just ask myself the question, what would the future version of me do right now? Because that person is my filter. It's essentially like asking myself, is what I'm doing right now, getting me closer to or further from my goal?
