Remember Your Future Self

"Can man decree a thing and have it come to pass? Most decidedly he can! Man has always decreed that which has appeared in his world and is today decreeing that which is appearing in his world and shall continue to do so as long as man is conscious of being man." – Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard’s profound words remind us that we are constantly shaping our reality with our thoughts, beliefs, and intentions. Whether we realize it or not, each day we declare—decree—what will manifest in our lives through our focus, emotions, and imagination. Our lives are a direct reflection of what we choose to decree.

The Art of Remembering Your Future Self
When we talk about "Remembering Your Future Self," it is not just a whimsical daydream about some far-off ideal. It is an active, intentional, and empowering process of connecting deeply with the person you are destined to become. By remembering who you aim to be and what you desire to achieve, you align yourself with that vision as if it is already reality. This is the essence of Goddard’s teaching: your future self is calling you forward, and your decrees are the bridge to that future.

Shaping Reality with Your Decree
Every thought and feeling you hold is a decree to the universe. You are constantly "decreeing" the state of your life, whether you are aware of it or not. If you focus on struggle, lack, or negativity, you are decreeing those things into your world. But if you align yourself with abundance, success, and growth, you will begin to notice those aspects showing up in your life.

To remember your future self, you must become conscious of these decrees. Ask yourself daily:

1. Who is my future self? As you see that future self, what are they doing, feeling, and experiencing?

2. What does my future self need from me today? What actions, thoughts, or emotions would they embody?

3. Am I living today as the person I wish to become? Are my current choices aligned with my future goals?

In doing so, you begin to become that future self. You step into the shoes of who you desire to be, not someday, but right now. By decreeing with intention, you shift your inner world to match the reality you want to live in.

The Power of Imagination and Assumption
Neville often emphasized the role of imagination. He believed that imagining the end result of your desire, in vivid detail and feeling, allows you to bring that future state into the present moment. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you embody your future self. This means:

- See it as done. If you can clearly see your future self achieving a goal, living a dream, or embodying certain qualities, then it is already done in your mind. Hold that image firmly.

- Feel it deeply. Feel the emotions associated with your future self's experiences. Whether it's joy, pride, excitement, or love, allow those feelings to saturate your present being.

Carry the beliefs and thoughts of your future self now. If your future self is confident, decisive, and focused, begin acting from that place of power today.

Daily Practices to Remember Your Future Self
1. Morning Visualization: Start your day by visualizing your future self vividly. Picture yourself living your dreams and achieving your goals. Make it as real as possible in your mind.

2. Daily Decree: Choose a mantra or affirmation that aligns with your future self. Speak it aloud or write it down daily as a decree of what you are becoming. For example: “I am successful in all that I do. I live a life of abundance and purpose.”

3. Reflective Journaling: At the end of each day, journal about how you lived in alignment with your future self. Reflect on where you succeeded and where you can improve, and celebrate every small step.

4. Mental Rehearsal: Throughout the day, mentally rehearse your future self's actions. If faced with a challenge, ask: How would my future self handle this? Step into that mindset and respond accordingly.

Embracing the Creative Power Within
Neville’s teachings remind us that we are not just passive observers of life but active creators of our experience. To remember your future self is to take ownership of this creative power. Your consciousness is the fertile ground where all possibilities reside. By choosing to see yourself as already possessing your desires and living your dreams, you align your inner world with your decrees.

The journey of Remembering Your Future Self is about embodying that future vision today. It’s about feeling, thinking, and acting as the person you wish to become. It’s understanding that the bridge between your present and future self is built on each small decree you make—each intention you set, each belief you hold, and each action you take.

So, the question remains: What will you decree today? What will you decide is true about your future? Remember, you are the conscious creator of your life, and your future self is already waiting for you to step into that role. Embrace it. Decree it. Live it.

Your future self is closer than you think. And every moment you choose to remember them, you bring them one step closer to your present reality.
