How I Get Through Hard Times [REPLAY]

The Glass Child
About this episode

The number 1 most popular episode of all time is back!

“Your relationship with your future self is the most important relationship in your life.”


Future me, whom I looked up to 3 years ago, is me now, and that’s why I feel so familiar with myself because I’ve communicated with future me for years.


I’m really grateful to past me for putting in the work, pushing on, making plans, and creating, because without past me doing this, my life would look very different now.


So when I go through hard times, I try to think about future me in a year from now, or just 6 months from now. What can I do today, that future me will be really really grateful for? What can I do today, to make life for future me a little easier and more beautiful?
