Stop Living in the Past to Start Living in the Present

Stop Living in the Past to Start Living in the Present

‍

Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. George Wright III here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I want to talk to you today about some ideas that can help you bring more abundance to the world around you, while also making positive changes in your own life.

I believe the world could use more compassion and concern for others right now. Ironically, this is one of the best strategies you can use to create the best version of yourself and eliminate scarcity thinking. Whenever I stop focusing on my own problems and start focusing on service to others, my life changes in an amazing way.

Changing Your Perspective

Today I want to talk about learning to change your perspective on yourself by focusing on others. If you can’t change how you see yourself, you’ll never shift into a mindset of abundance. This means addressing the stories you tell yourself about who you are, how you act, and how you see yourself in the mirror.

Leaders like Tony Robbins have often talked about changing limiting beliefs to restore confidence, motivation, and passion. It always starts with changing the view you have of yourself. Right now, many people suffer from a low or distorted self-image. This kind of mindset blocks the growth you’re working so hard to achieve.

You are not your past—it doesn’t define you. We all hear that, but accepting it is another matter. Many of us still define ourselves by past limitations.

‍

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Think about how often you might say, “I always…,” “I never…,” or “That’s just the way I am.” Even if these thoughts aren’t spoken aloud, they may exist subconsciously and limit your potential. If you don’t have unshakable confidence, it’s likely you have thoughts that are not positive or healthy.

Here’s what I know for sure: everyone reading or listening to this has overcome major challenges in life. You’re alive. You’ve learned to walk, talk, adapt, and survive—often without anyone being able to do it for you. You’ve been resilient countless times.

Yet, many of us don’t see ourselves as winners, even high achievers. Remember, it’s not about how many times you fall—it’s about how many times you get back up. You are not the past version of yourself at any stage of your life. Stop comparing yourself to that version.

‍

Visualizing Your Future Self

Instead of filtering your life through the lens of the past, start visualizing and believing in the future version of yourself. This means accepting that you’re always evolving, growing, and becoming better. Abundance is expecting something you don’t yet have—but believe you will.

If you’ve been improving throughout your life, why not intentionally create the best version of yourself now? When you stop clinging to your past identity and begin seeing your future self as real, amazing changes happen. You’ll be more inspired, motivated, and clear about your goals. You’ll handle situations differently, eliminate distractions, and develop unshakable confidence.

It’s not easy—if it were, it wouldn’t be worth it. Growth requires challenge, so embrace it.

‍

Daily Rituals for Success

Double down on your daily rituals. Use affirmations—“I am” statements that reinforce the belief that you are the best version of yourself: a great leader, partner, friend, and unique individual with talents and purpose.

When you consistently affirm your value and visualize your future self, you align your subconscious mind with your goals. This alignment fuels your actions and creates the life you were meant to live.

Conclusion and Community Engagement

Stop comparing yourself to your past. Start believing and manifesting your future self, and you will live an incredible life.
