You've been living your life backwards.

So have I, and so has most of the planet. And I don’t mean upside down, that is my jam. I literally mean backwards. Most of the planet functions from these three principles, and in this order: have, do and be.

I want to have this result.

How do we anchor ourselves?

As a continuation of the previous two parts of our anchored series (if you haven't read those, you can catch up with part 1 here, and part 2 here)...
