Dr. Aziz presents a short motivational message reminding viewers that "the past does not equal the future," and invites them to imagine a compelling future powered by unlimited confidence. He encourages choosing one meaningful area to pursue, to focus on the possibility rather than the how, and to consider how a personally compelling future can also energize others. The tone is encouraging and action-oriented.
What if the past does not equal the future? That's something that I am continually reminding myself of because I think we all have this potential to fall into a pattern where we predict what's going to happen next based upon what happened before. And sometimes that's useful. You have patterns of data, patterns of information, patterns of experience that help you predict and help you anticipate that could be useful. Oftentimes, though unconsciously used, is extremely detrimental. In fact, this is such an important thing to remember that I actually have it on my wall. So right here, this is my desk. All of my hippie crystals. Oh, yeah, Celestite sphere. It's awesome. So, but here I have that right on the wall. The past does not equal the future. Right there, staring right to the left of my computer. So I can just look over at it whenever I need to. Because here's the thing, we're often looking to the future and seeing a very limited set of possibilities based upon the past. And you might not do this in every area of your life. Maybe some areas feel more open, but the area that you might be stuck, maybe with your confidence, maybe, however, that confidence is affecting you at work and being too nice and not saying what you need and having issues with relationships as a result, whatever it is, that future might not be looking so different from the past. So remind yourself of the truth. The past does not equal the future. If that were so, then what's possible? Is it possible to have a future that's radically different than anything you've ever experienced? This is especially important, especially when we have things that we've done a million times. Oh, this pattern's repeated itself, you know, 80 times, or I've been doing this my whole life. So I guess this is just how it is. What if there is no this is how it is. What if there's what you make, there's what you create, and the it is changing and evolving constantly. What if the past does not equal the future? If that were true, what kind of future do you want to create? What kind of future, which is another thing I have in my office right now. What future? Can we read that? There we go. What future energizes, excites and compels you? Because remember, the past doesn't equal the future. So you get to create the future that you want. What do you want in your confidence? If you were more confident? That's a question I love to ask people. If you had unlimited confidence, what would you do? How would you feel? What would you go create? How would your life Be different. That's creating a compelling future. And this other part is important too. How does your compelling future inspire and energize others? Because if our compelling future is just all about me, I'm going to get this and I'm going to achieve that. And I want to be great and I'm going to be desired, I'm going to be loved and I'm going to be rich. I'm not saying you can't go achieve all that stuff. All I know is that life supports life. And so if you're doing things that are for you and others, you're going to get that stuff a hell of a lot faster because you're supporting more people and life's gonna support those who support more. That's just my perception of life. So what future energizes and inspires and compels you to go towards it? What is that? Just dream about that right now as you're watching this and during this week. What do you wanna create for yourself? What do you want to see happen for you? And just pick one area of your life that if you had unlimited confidence, if you total belief in yourself that you would pursue, that would be meaningful for you, that would be inspiring for you. That is your compelling future. That's what you want to focus on. Forget about how. Just open yourself to the possibility that the past does not equal the future. Yes. It sounds like a broken record. I'm saying that a hundred times in this video because I'm hoping that when you leave this video, even if you forget everything else, including the Celestite crystal, you'll remember the past does not equal. That's right, the future. Awesome. I can't wait to see what future you create until we speak again. May have the courage to be who you are and to know on a deep level that you're awesome. I'll talk to you soon.
