Fall in Love with Your Future Self
25 years ago, I sat on a park bench in Cubbon Park, shattered.
I had worked hard. I had given it everything. But I didn’t get a free medical seat.
I still remember the silence of that moment. My dreams felt distant.
My efforts, wasted. I was young, heartbroken, and unsure of what would come next.
That day, I stumbled upon a motivational talk — a cassette tape someone had given me. The speaker said something I couldn’t quite forget:
"Visualize your future self — vividly — and believe in it. It will come true."
I wasn't convinced. It sounded like a fairytale.
But something inside me stirred — perhaps desperation, perhaps hope.
I pulled out my diary and wrote: MBBS. MD. MRCP. Consultant Physician.
At that moment, it felt foolish. But in hindsight, that was the spark.
🌱 The Shift Within
Looking back, I now realise something profound happened that day.
Bit by bit, I began to believe in that vision — not just the titles, but the person I could become.
That belief didn’t solve everything overnight. But slowly, a path began to form:
I found mentors.
Opportunities came — sometimes disguised as challenges.
I changed.
And eventually, life changed too.
Today, I am a Consultant Physician.
But this is not just about titles. It’s about the inner journey that led there.
🧠💚 The Wellness Insight
That experience taught me one of the greatest truths I now teach as a Holistic Wellness Coach:
Mental wellness is not just about surviving life — it’s about having the clarity and energy to create life.
When we’re mentally and emotionally exhausted, we shrink into survival.
But when we nurture our inner world — something magical happens.
We begin to:
Feel again.
Dream again.
Take aligned action.
Attract the right people and moments.
Mental clarity. Emotional strength. Energetic focus. Spiritual trust.These are not luxuries. They are foundations of wellness.
✨ Try This: Visualize the Future You
Right now — as you read this — I invite you to pause.
Can you see your future self?
Not just the job or the title — but the feeling of being that person?
What do you look like?
How do you speak, think, walk?
What values guide you?
What kind of energy do people feel around you?
The more vividly you can imagine it — with feeling, emotion, colour, and detail — the more you activate a quiet power within.
Because the world moves to help those who dare to believe.
🪷 Final Words from My Diary to Yours
That moment 25 years ago was not about magic.
It was about mindset. And the subtle healing that happens when you allow hope to enter.
I now dedicate my work at srirangavn.com to help people just like you and me — those who are navigating life, health, purpose, and change — to live inside, out.
