Activity 2
⭐ Letters to Future Me
Take a moment to write a letter to the version of yourself who will read this one year from today.
Share the dreams you're working toward, the habits you're committed to building, and the ones you're ready to leave behind. Celebrate the person you're becoming, be honest about the challenges you're facing, and write down the encouragement you hope your future self will need.
This isn't about predicting where your life will be. This is about capturing who you are in this moment so you can look back and see how far you've come.
When you've finished, seal the letter in an envelope or schedule it to be emailed to yourself one year from today. On that date, read it with grace, celebrate your growth, and reflect on the journey you've taken.
Remember: becoming isn't about arriving at perfection. It's about continuing to choose growth, one step at a time.

Activity Takeaway
First things first I just want to say going on this journey again has been amazing for me. I always thrive in life when I have a goal/mission that I am working towards. Now on to the juicy part. When I finally made time to sit down and write my letters I noticed this activity was actually very emotional for me. I felt happy. Sad. Joyful. Hopeful. Overwhelmed. More than anything, I felt faithful. At first I was very confused on why all of these emotions appeared but then it clicked: I am already planting the seeds of the life I say I want. This isn't some hypothetical letter or wish list. This is something I believe in, pray over, and know that God wants for me.
That realization gave this moment a weight that I didn't expect.
If I truly believe in the future I wrote about, I can no longer keep compromising with myself in the present. Right now I recognize that I have only been about 80% committed. 80% commitment translates to doing everything I said I would do but not stopping the things I said I would stop. Before writing these letters I genuinely didn't see anything wrong with the behavior. Honestly I thought I was doing well. Now I see it's time to make a choice. I'm either going to say "I do" to my future or comforts, but I can't been committed to both.
This isn't about having everything figured out. It's about recognizing that the future I wrote about is worth showing up for. So now, I have seeds in the ground. For the next year, I'm going to tend to them with intention, with discipline, with patience, and most importantly, with faith. I may not be able to see the harvest yet, but I can choose what I plant today.
