How to Become Your Future Self: The Power of Belief, Identity, and Assumption
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Success Unlocked, Dr. Adrienne Shnier explores the power of assumption and how the identity you hold for yourself can shape your academic goals, career decisions, personal growth, and future success.
Adrienne explains that assumption is not about ignoring reality, pretending challenges do not exist, or simply wishing for results without taking action. It is about examining the story you tell yourself about who you are, what you are capable of, and what is possible for your future.
She shares why your results often do not exceed the level of belief you have in yourself. Before you receive the acceptance letter, achieve the score, or step into your dream career, an internal transformation must happen. You must begin believing that the future you want is possible and become the person who can create it.
Adrienne also explores how your thoughts influence your feelings, your feelings influence your actions, and your actions shape your results. Through the example of two students facing the same competitive application process, she demonstrates how one student can approach the experience from limitation while another approaches it from possibility.
From questioning comparison and competition to rejecting thoughts that do not align with your goals, this episode reminds students that confidence does not mean never experiencing doubt. It means learning how to recognize doubt, recover quickly, and continue moving forward despite uncertainty.
If you have ever believed that success belongs to someone else, questioned whether you are the kind of person who gets accepted, or struggled to release an old version of yourself, this episode is for you.
