Many of us have a vision of what we want our future to look like but have trouble seeing a clear path to get there.

| 0:00.0 | Your experience in the present is shaped by how you frame your past and how you frame your future. |
| 0:05.2 | And a lot of people, when they think about the future, they think, okay, that's something I can imagine. |
| 0:08.7 | When they think about the past, they think that that's something that's concrete. |
| 0:11.5 | And the truth is, is that the past is just as imagined as the future. |
| 0:15.0 | And you can get just as skillful at imagining and refining and reframing your past, |
| 0:20.4 | at also imagining a different future. |
| 0:24.5 | Dr. Benjamin Hardy, welcome to the podcast. We'd love to jump right in. |
| 0:29.5 | People have goals in all aspects of their life. |

| 1:16.8 | So that's one big aspect is just not knowing who their future self is, not operating from the identity of their future self. |

| 1:27.9 | Linear meaning like it's, it's a continuation from the present into the future. |
