The 365 Commitment

Day 8 – Future As Memory

I am contemplating a future reality in early morning hours. Thinking it through, contemplating what it looks like, what it will feel like, how I will feel. How I will look, where I will be, what I will be doing. Very interesting to keep taking that journey.

I have done this once before, and what is really strange, the day that I imagine became so real that it is really hard for me now to remember back and distinguish the actual result from the future memory that I created. Strikingly they were both very similar to each other, so much so, that the people that were there were the same. What I was doing and what I was wearing were pretty similar. The location was different, but not so much so that it disrupted the feel of the memory.

So here I go again. Reaching higher this time.
