An important message from your future-self

Aaron Doughty explains how to connect with your future self through visualization and living as if you're already that person. Your current self-image, built from repeated thoughts and actions, creates an autopilot reality that limits you. By shifting your identity away from money toward passion and committing to new patterns, you can step into a different version of yourself.

Your future self has a message for you. That's because right now, the choices you're making right now in this moment, whether you're making the choice to stay in a relationship that doesn't serve you, whether you're making the choice to leave a job that you're not passionate about or stay in a job that you're not passionate about, whatever choice you are currently making is affecting your future self. It is affecting the timeline that you're on. And when you make a new choice about who you are in this moment right now, that is going to be what determines you being in a new reality. Now, in a way, when I started making daily videos on YouTube, I intuitively felt like it was almost a future self, a future version of me that was telling me, hey, make daily videos on YouTube. And that if you do this for over like a year, your life will be completely transformed. Well, it didn't take a year, it took months. My life was completely transformed from making a video every single day on YouTube. And I felt like in the moment I got that information, when I was living at my dad's house, walking from one room to the bathroom, I just had this intuitive feeling and I felt like it was my future self that was telling me that. Well, I listened to that. I ended up being that, embodying that, and my life transformed in more ways than I can even explain. That's what led me from that life back in 2017, working a 9 to 5 job to where now I get to do what I want when I wanna do it, travel the world and have an easel. This right here is called an easel. So the future self, in this video, I'm gonna be showing you what your future self wants you to know. And I really believe that if you absorb and you listen to this video, this video can be the video that changed it all for you because I'm gonna explain some things that are gonna help you understand why you're, getting what you're getting in life and exactly what to do to commit and be in a new reality. So with that being said, let's get into this video, right? Meow. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their conscious. And what I do is I make videos that show you how to break out of your old identity, out of your old belief systems, to then be free and create reality on your terms. So if you haven't already, hit the subscribe button, subscribe to the channel. I make videos, I used to make videos daily because part of my future self was like, hey, make videos every single day. I did that for like 3 years and then eventually I was like, okay man, I've made 1,500 videos on YouTube now. I'm gonna tone it down. My new self, the future self from that moment was like, oh, I actually don't have to work as hard as I thought I did. So that served me for a period of time and then eventually I only make 3, 4 videos a week now. That was kind of the point of that. In general, your future self, realize your future self, which you could think of, think of your future self almost as like an ideal version of you. How would you think? How would you feel? How would you act? As you imagine this version of you, you begin to connect to it more and more. And the crazy thing is, is that being your future self is actually extraordinarily simple. You have to know how that version of you thinks, feels, and acts. You have to pay attention to how that version of you carries you. And then you could do something that I call, and I've made many videos on, be as if. Be as if. Be as if you were that version of you. Don't act as if, because acting as if implies that you're acting like an actor would go to an acting job. They would act for the day, then they'd go home, and then they'd be who they really are. What you wanna do is you wanna be as if, be, being means that you're doing it because it's who you are. You're being that version of you. This is where you become aware of your self-image as well. Your current self-image is that, is equal to the reality you're in. If you view yourself, most people just aren't aware of their self-image. If you view yourself as only able to make $50,000 a year, if you view yourself as only able to be in a relationship that kind of sucks, If you only see yourself as like somebody that's a people pleaser, then your reality will reflect that back to you. Until you become aware of that, that will be an autopilot reality. So a lot of this is becoming aware of your self-image. How do you see yourself? And when you realize as well, I mean, this video is a different video, but we'll just kind of take some of the ideas from it. New every moment. Every moment's a new moment. You can make a new choice about who you are right now. And when it comes to your future self, which— think of your future self as the ideal version of you— you can make a choice that that is who you are right now. And then as in this moment you sink into that energy, you are being that version of you, you will find that then you then start to get a completely new reality. Now here is the problem with the current self that you may have. The current self that you may have thinks, feels, and acts a certain way. So you think, feel, and act this similar way over and over again. Now what happens is that becomes on autopilot. When it's on autopilot, the autopilot mind of comfort, the mind only wants to stay safe and survive. So once we have a repetitious pattern of how we are being in the world, it will do everything it can to remain consistent. Consistent to that pattern, to that sense of comfort. Now, what you are currently doing right now in your life is what you are getting a reflection of. How you are being, thinking, feeling is equal to your reality. The key to shifting to your future self, which remember, the future self is just an ideal version of how we prefer to be. When you imagine your future self, how are you thinking, feeling, and acting? What are you doing for a living? What kind of relationships are you in? How do you carry yourself, what is your body language like? How do people treat you? What kind of language do you use? How do you talk to people? As you imagine this future self, you realize first off, here's the crazy thing. You guys ready? Your mind's about to be blown, more blown than that painting right there, okay? Which has eyes all over it and it's kind of trippy. All right, here we go. Your future self already exists. The best version of you, there is a timeline for that version of you. Think about it in the movie Interstellar. Interstellar, don't wanna ruin the end for you, but I kind of will. Matthew McConaughey goes through this crazy space travel, goes through a wormhole, and then he's like communicating with him's old self and his daughter because time is an illusion. And that was like a metaphor. Not really. I think it was actually, I think all what quantum physics is showing us is that all everything exists right here and now. So these realities already exist. What you can use is a permission slip as imagining your future self to then communicate and in a way get information from this future self timeline that can tell. I know it sounds esoteric. Trust me, I know, but that's what I did and I'm living the life of my dreams. And you can do it too. Imagine the version of you that's killing the game, that's doing exactly what you wanna be doing, that's living your dream lifestyle, living life on your terms. How does that version of you think, feel, and act? And ask for a message from that version of you. Ask for a message in a way from your higher self to help you figure out what you can do, be, and how you can make a new choice about who you are. So once you become aware that doing, thinking, feeling, and acting the same way over and over again is a part of the known. It's the known. It's if you do, if you think, feel, and act the same way you always have, you'll get what you always got. The key is stepping into the unknown, which means doing something completely new, doing something completely new, branching out. I know it seems scary. I'm getting ready to do virtual live events. Been talking about it for fricking ever on this channel because I was been waiting for this since all this illness thing happened. It's like, oh, I'm waiting for, things to open back up. Well, guess what? I'm not waiting anymore. I'm gonna just do that. It's the unknown. What's gonna happen? But guess what? In the unknown is where the magic happens. It's like Harry Potter magic stuff, okay? Don't we like Harry Potter? I like Harry Potter. So here's the thing. Here's what your future self wants you to know. The future version of you that's killing the game, thinking, acting, and feeling equal to their reality where you're making way more than you're making, you're in the relationship you're in, in is even better. If you're not in a relationship, you're in the perfect relationship. That's the idea. You can imagine that and then give yourself permission to pick up on information from that version of you. And then here's what you need to know. Commit to a new identity. Make a new choice about who you are. Let go of the old one. Realize that the old identity was just on autopilot. And what you can do is let go of the old identity And then what you can do, and how do you let go of it? You just become aware of it. You become aware of the story you have about who you are. The old identity has just been on autopilot. Once you realize it's been on autopilot, it's been in comfort, you can then make a new choice. Every moment's a new moment. So you can make a new choice about who you are. And I've done that in many different areas of my life. There was a moment when I thought I was dumb, and then I had a teacher, I mean, this wasn't by choice. It wasn't like I knew this information, that's what changed it. But then a teacher said, oh, you're actually kind of smart. You did this like test and you actually scored really high. And I started to see myself as a smart person. Then guess what? I tapped into the energy of me being a smart person. It's like we have all these potentials we can experience, but we only experience certain ones due to where our energy is and what we believe about ourself. Make a new choice about who you are and commit to it. Your passion, do it for the passion, not the money. A lot of, sometimes when people see the future self, they're like, oh yeah, man, I could see my future self. I'm living on a boat with like a wife and a girlfriend. Like she's cool with it. So it's like this thing where like the wife is cool with the girlfriend and then there's also like all the, like the kids that I want to have. And then as well, like I just have like a whole team of people and like there's like really good food, just like a buffet on this boat and the boat's like going through like the ocean and stuff and it's like really cool. No, this isn't just about that. It's not about the money. You have to also make sure it's about a connection to your heart. What are you passionate about? One of the reasons I connected to the future self version of me was I realized I was making daily videos 'cause that's what I'm passionate about is making videos, making content, helping people. Make sure it's connected to your heart, something that your soul wants. That's when it's authentic and that's when it's maintainable. I was watching, I was at an event, a virtual live event here in my living room with Tony Robbins, Business Mastery. It's like a high-end business event. And there was a lady there that, I forget her name. She used to be like the, or she was the owner of some IT Cosmetics thing. And she's really inspiring. She sold her company to $1 billion to L'Oréal. And she said that the one thing she noticed is authenticity is key. And that the people that were doing it just because it was an act that we're doing, like selling cosmetics and own big cosmetics companies and stuff like that, that she was in a way competing with, the ones that were doing it as an act or to get somewhere else, just for the money never lasted. It was the authentic ones that were connected to their passion that lasted. I can tell you from people that create videos on YouTube, I've seen people copy videos, I've seen people just do the same thing someone else does, it never lasts. It's only something that is maintainable if you're doing what you're passionate about, if you're connected to your heart, okay? So make sure that that's what you're focused on, the passion, not just the money. Now here's another thing, the past does not equal the future. You're a new person, new person every moment, new person every moment. Your past does not equal the future. You can realize that and let go of the past by realizing it served you for what you've experienced. And when you change the meaning of the past, you realize it led you to where you are now. You're able to let go of that baggage. So the past does not equal the future is also just the awareness that you're new every moment. You're new every moment. You're new every moment. You can make a new choice about who you are. And that's the thing, make a new choice and commit to this new future self. You could literally give this video and say that this video I'm listening to right now is the video where I just made a choice about who I am. I made a new choice that I'm going to do my passion every day of creating art. I'm going to step into the unknown in this new job that I was kind of afraid of. I'm gonna ask my boss for a raise. I'm gonna do these things that I think are a little bit fearful because they're just not in the repertoire of the, autopilot mind of comfort, I'm gonna do and think, feel, and act more than I've currently been living by making a new choice about who I am. And as you make these new choices, it will completely change your life. So realize the choice you're making right now is what's shifting you to your future reality. If you change the choices you're making right now by committing to a new identity, you will find that your life then begins to change in a very powerful way. That's all you got to do. So simply make a new choice about who you are. Commit to this new, this new identity. Change your environment too. That could be very powerful for letting go of old patterns. Realize that this is who you are now. Your past does not equal your future, and that as you begin to take action, it will be a little bit difficult in the beginning because it's new, but eventually it gets easier and easier because you start to gain momentum and then you get positive reinforcement for doing it. And then you stay committed to it. It's about committing. You just have to commit to that new identity. And when you commit to that new identity, that new way of being, that future self, you'll find that your life changes in a powerful way. So your future self wants you to know that it's time to commit to who you're really meant to be, to your passion, to your heart, to this new reality where you create it on your terms rather than waiting for someone else to do something to give. I know I was waiting for Tony Robbins to meet me one day to like hand me out and like, to like put me on stage or I don't know. I had these weird romantic ideas. And then I said, you know what? I'm gonna commit to this new identity. I'm going to be this version of me. And now look, I just get to do what I love and I got an easel. Hahaha, I got an easel. Anyways, hope you guys liked this video. I'll talk to you soon. Peace, much love and namaste.
