“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.”

Has anyone used “futureme.org”? It’s an awesome website I found a few years ago where you can type yourself an email and have it sent to you at some specified date in the future. It’s like your own online time capsule and I was quite surprised when I received an email today. I had totally forgotten I had written and scheduled this email a while back until it arrived today. Take a gander at my reflections. It’s funny how I look back and remember the importance of the moment, but in due time a new perspective came out of it. I have since moved way past this incident and moment in my life. Funny how time reveals the true nature and essence of one moment. It’s completely water under the bridge. And many great lessons have been learned.

Dear FutureMe,
You broke up with xxxx this weekend and you miss him terribly. The inner growth you are experiencing is difficult, but you’ve come a long way. You’re starting to know what it is that you want and you’re willing to wait and to work for it. xxxx really likes you and he’s a good guy, but you really want someone who will be into you and who will really be into developing the relationship. Perhaps, in time, you will grow towards one another, but the reality at the moment is that he is scared and he wants to accomplish some things in his career before he can relax and dive into a relationship. Perhaps you will have the patience to let it go and to be ok with friendship, or perhaps you will decide to move on and that you have enough friends. Whatever the case, I hope when you receive this letter from me, that you will be in a better spiritual, emotional, and mental place. Life is for living and each relationship is not a waste. You know deep down that love is really all that remains. You know it now. You know how deeply you feel for him and once you’ve gone through the process of letting go, you’ll look back and know that you’ve grown in good ways because of it. Just keep looking forward and keep appreciating the moments. God is with you and your journey is full of meaning of purpose. Believe it and truly live it.
With much love for you,
Your future self. 
P.S. You are sending this from the xxxx, where you are working xxxx. Good luck with your interview tomorrow!
