The other version of you is not behind schedule.

The other version of you is feeling organized.

The other version of you gave voice to conviction.

The other version of you acted with confidence.

The other version of you didn’t waste any time.

Of course, we are that version if we choose to be.

Instead of looking upon that other version of ourselves with longing and regret, we can step into that role. We can live there instead of visiting there.

We can be that better version ... striding forward, un-tethered from the past.
