Dream Big & Go After It—Why Your Future Self is Waiting for You

Unapologetically,Dorothy! March 3, 2025129

So, I was sitting here today, taking a quick little lunch break from working on my blog, and my mind started racing. You know how sometimes we let other people’s failures, doubts, or experiences dictate what we believe is possible for ourselves? Yeah, that’s been on my mind heavy.

Let me tell you something: their story is not your story. Just because someone else tried something and it didn’t work for them doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. Just because someone swears they did all the research and “know for a fact” that something won’t work doesn’t mean that applies to you. If God gave you a vision, if an idea is sitting so deep in your spirit that you can’t shake it, go after it. I don’t care if it seems crazy. Dream bigger. I don’t care if it feels impossible. Still go after it.

God does not plant ideas in your heart for no reason. If He says it’s a possibility, then it’s a possibility. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, but it does mean it’s worth it.

Your Future Self Already Has It—So Why Not Go Get It?

I saw this post on TikTok (if I find it, I’ll add it here), but the creator said something that blew my mind:

The reason you crave something so deeply is because your future self already has it.

Read that again. Your future self already has it.

Ever since I saw that video, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it because it’s absolutely true. I 100% believe there are different versions of us moving at the same time—whether you want to call it parallel universes, timelines, whatever. But that dream you keep thinking about? It’s already a reality in one version of your life.

That means there’s no reason you can’t make it happen in this one.

Push Until You Get It—No Matter What

We only get one life. One shot. So why would you waste it playing small or letting fear talk you out of your dreams? Don’t let anybody stop you. Don’t let other people’s insecurities become your insecurities. Don’t let someone who gave up convince you that you should give up too.

In fact, move in silence. Don’t tell these son of a bitches anything.
(Yes, I said it.)

This is your time. Your season. Your dream. So go after it like your life depends on it.

You were made for this.
You were destined for greatness.
You were built to succeed.

Be Delusional If You Have To—Manifest That Shit

Be delusional. Believe in yourself to the point that you manifest some real shit.

I don’t care if your goal is to make $1 million by the end of this year and you only have $10 in your bank account.

This is the season of change. You deserve everything you’ve been dreaming about, but let’s be real—time is not on our side.

So stop sitting around dreaming without moving. You have to put action behind it. Will it be easy? Hell no. Some days, you’re going to want to quit. Some days, you’re going to question yourself. But don’t you dare stop.

Pivot, Don’t Quit

I have this picture as my phone’s screensaver, and it says:

“Pivot, Don’t Quit.”

And that’s the key. Pivot as many times as you need to. If one thing isn’t working? Pivot. If that doesn’t work? Pivot again. Keep pivoting until you can’t pivot anymore.

But whatever you do—do not quit.

Because remember—your future self already has it.

So why not go get it now?
