The version of you who has everything you want is a normal person. I know that sounds like such a simple thing to say, but it's true. It is so easy to idealize the versions of ourselves who have everything we desire. The version of us with the house, the money, the soulmate, the amazing friend group, the dream career, etc. To idolize them to the point where they become an impossible vision and subconsciously, we start to believe that we will never be that person.
Of course, this is to our detriment. If it is the future version of ourselves who has everything we want (spoiler alert, it is not, but that is a topic for a different post), but this version of ourselves feels impossible to reach, then our goals also start to feel impossible. It is easy for us to believe that the future version of ourselves must always be perfect and in one hundred percent alignment. After all, they must be doing something different to us to have everything they desire.
At the root of this, is the belief that you must not currently be energetically aligned with your desires. Because if you were, wouldn't you already have everything you want? And the truth is, no my love. Just because you don't yet currently have what you desire, does not mean that it is not on its way to you. It does not mean that you need to change yourself and struggle to raise your vibration (more on vibration later). When things in your life aren't manifesting, despite all of the work you are doing, the easiest but most painful thing we do is believe that it must be our fault.
Maybe you hired coaches and took courses and journaled every day and tapped and tried to clear your energy and scripted and envisioned the life you desire and desperately tried to release attachment. You did everything you were supposed to do, but it didn't work for you. When your desires are not manifesting in your life, despite all of the work you are doing, it is so easy to believe that the problem must be you. And if you're feeling very low about this, it can be easy to think well, the Universe must not love me. Or to think that you're being punished or that your energy is blocking your vision.
In my experience, two paths appear before you when you have reached this point: turn back and say never mind, OR keep going but decide that you just need to become the version of yourself who already has everything you desire. After all, aren't you supposed to embody the version of yourself who has already manifested your dreams? In this state, it is easy to idolize your future self. To think that they are perfect, live the perfect life, and are an energetic match to everything they want all the time.
Allow me to help take your future self off a pedestal here, because you are never going to embody a version of yourself that does not exist. Let me clarify. It is IMPOSSIBLE that the future version of yourself is always happy, never has a bad day, and lives in a constant state of euphoria. Your future self may very well be happy, but they are NOT happy all of the time. They have bad days, bad experiences, and things they learn and grow from. They have goals they are still working towards, things they are still learning about themselves, etc. Not every day is a magical, rainbow adventure of a day. Some days are boring as heck to your future self. Sure, they have everything this current version of you desires. But it is the human experience to feel the full spectrum of emotions, to learn from life, to have ups and downs, and to strive for more (hello law of expansion). The version of yourself who has everything you desire has not transcended humanity.
The point is, that version of yourself is still you and is still human. They know how to deal with bad days. They also have things they are in the process of manifesting. They have practices they come back to when their vibration is "low." They don't turn away from difficult feelings.
So, when you are practicing embodying the version of yourself who already has what you desire, remember it is not about being perfect. You do not embody the version of yourself who has it all by ignoring your down days, turning a blind eye to your issues, and trying to suppress your emotions into "high vibe only." You embody the future version of yourself by learning to love and care for yourself now. By learning certainty now and by having faith that this version of you exists and you are already them.
Take your future self off the pedestal and realize that you are much closer to them than you think you are.
