Who is your true self?
It is the person God wants you to be today.
It is the actions you can perform now.
It is when you do what the present moment requires of you.
Who is your future self?
It is a long-term goal that requires daily action.
I want to write a book.
I want to be a public speaker.
I want to lose 10 pounds.
I want to create a long-term sustainable centering prayer practice. (I had to say this one:)
I want to change careers.
I want to fill in the ___________.
I love the combination of centering prayer and journaling!
During centering prayer God prays in me both the actions I need to take today and the inner nudges to explore a long-term future self-goal.
Outside of centering prayer I like to write in my journal.
I reflect upon the actions God has prayed in me.
I jot down actions God wants me to take today.
I also jot down long-term future self-goals that God nudges me to begin.
Let me share a few actions in both categories.
Today’s actions: Encourage my children, go to gym every other day, do Facebook lives
Long term future self-goals: Publish second book, create group coaching program
What actions both short term and long term has God prayed in you?
P.S. If you wish to explore your short-term and long-term goals, reach out regarding my one-on-one offerings.
Over the past few decades, we’ve coached hundreds of people who struggle with achieving their goals and deliberately creating the life they want. So we created this program to handle those struggles.
We’re confident it can help if you’ve ever thought or said anything like:
“I set goals every year, but seldom achieve them.”
“I want to go after my dreams, but don’t know where to start.”
“I need more money to get the things I want, but I have no idea how to get it.”
“I want to be happier, healthier and enjoy peace of mind.”
“I struggle with really believing I can accomplish my goals and dreams.”
“I’ve spent my life helping to build other people’s dreams, but not my own.”
Magic In Your Mind shows you how ANYONE can experience miraculous moments and create lasting success by developing their higher faculties.

Contemplative Christianity
