A point of frustration.
Should you stop?
Should you quit?
Particularly relevant in current times.
The present self might say yes, and, often does.
If you have a particular goal however, your future self doesn’t care how frustrated you are. In fact, it might even prefer the tension, because if you walk away – if you stop – then so does the goal.
The future self wants the upgrade in awareness. The growth. And the growth comes from following through on the task – from putting the work out there.
As far as the future self, the market, or the universe is concerned, whether our current emotional state is high, low, focused, or distant is irrelevant, because the emotion will pass.
Generally speaking, the story you want to create needs to drive our action, not how we feel when we get out of bed.
