Connecting With Your Future Self

Description

How do we connect with our future self, and what might that person teach us about living today? In this 10 Minutes of Morning Calm, I invite us to picture ourselves at 75 and ask what we truly treasure. The people we love. The ways we serve. The peace we carry inside. Through a Swedenborgian understanding of divine providence, we see God guiding us toward heaven and the angels we can become, with opportunities to grow in love through ordinary, sometimes inconvenient choices. God always is speaking to us through the best intentions of our heart. Listening means asking how our values shape our actions, especially when someone needs us and we would rather stay comfortable. I believe it’s about meaning. As we imagine the relationships and deeper purpose our older selves cherish, we can begin to nurture those gifts now, one small, faithful step at a time.
