Forward Focus — Living From the Absolute Future
If you only take one thing from this program, let it be this:
You are not here to relive the past.
You are here to create what has never existed before.
Let’s talk about the future—but not just the to-do-list, vision-board, SMART-goal version.
Let’s talk about what philosopher Jacques Derrida called the absolute future:
The future that cannot be predicted. The one that isn’t a projection of your past. The one that lives outside your current identity, timeline, and logic.
The future that requires surrender, openness, and radical co-creation with life itself.
That’s what we’re playing with here.
Not repeating. Not reacting.
Releasing the grip of who you’ve been to let in who you’re here to become.
⚡️ Past ≠ Proof of Future
Yes, you’ve made mistakes.
Yes, there were traumas, missteps, cringe texts, entire relationships you wouldn’t repeat.
But here’s the thing: your past is only useful if you mine it for meaning—not if you use it to cage yourself in.
Stop dragging your history into your future like it’s your emotional carry-on.
The you who exists now is already different. And the you who exists tomorrow? She’s got range.
🧠 Your Brain Wants to Recreate What It Already Knows
Here’s where it gets spicy:
Your mind is wired to loop what’s familiar—even when it sucks. Even when it keeps you stuck.
That’s why this shift matters:
When you focus forward, you’re choosing creation over confirmation.
You’re interrupting the pattern.
You’re saying: “Just because that’s how it’s been doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to be.”
You’re betting on possibility. Not probability.
💫 Living From the Future
Most people live toward their dreams.
You? You’re about to start living from them.
Try this:
Instead of asking, “How do I get there?”, ask:
“If I were already her—what would I be doing right now?”
That’s living from the absolute future. That’s time travel in stilettos.
🛠 Quick Tools for Future Focus
- Choose a new point of origin.
Don’t start with where you’ve been. Start with where you want to be—and reverse-engineer from there.
- Declare what’s over.
What story, pattern, or identity is no longer allowed to write your future? Say it. Cut the cord.
- Ask better questions.
Instead of “Why am I like this?” → “Who do I choose to be now?”
- Practice presence.
You access the future by being fully here. No past-dwelling. No future-tripping. Just now, now, now.
- Go first.
The version of you who lives that dream life? She’s not waiting. Start acting like her—now.

🎯 Your Move Today
Close your eyes. Picture the next level you.
Ask: “How would she handle today?”
Then go live like her—for the next 24 hours.
Make decisions. Speak. Move. Rest. Love. From that place.
Because that version?
She’s not waiting.
She’s already inside you—ready when you are.
