Emanuel Ruiz argues that blaming external circumstances while spending on leisure is a trap. Your future is built by choices you make today, so act deliberately now to make your future self proud.
Your future self is watching you, and they're gonna either love what you're doing right now or absolutely hate it. And the thing is, I have friends from middle, high school, college that are in their 30s right now, and all they do is complain about why they're not supposed to be where they're supposed to be, right? Either they blame it on Trump, the economy, or they just blame it on any other BS reasons as to why they're not where they want to be at. But when I open up their Instagram stories, they're out drinking at a bar, at someone's party, or saying YOLO and coming on the next vacation and going into debt to go ahead and do that. The thing is that the reason why you're at where you're at right now is no one else to blame but yourself. So remember that when you're going ahead and complaining or feeling bad about yourself or feeling sorry for yourself, that it is because of you and your actions of what you're doing today that's gonna result in where you are in the future. So make the future you proud of yourself and the actions that you're going ahead and doing today.
