“Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be”  Dieter F. Uchtdorf

What action can you take today that you’re future you would thank you for?

Although the future is indeed unpredictable, you have the ability to control or at least influence a small part of it. You have the ability to take a few small actions today and every day that increase the probability that your future will be one that you can enjoy and benefit from. I intentionally said increase the probability and not guarantee because the twins, chance and luck will play a role in your life just as they do in everyone’s life.

Identifying with a future version of you is difficult because although you’re blessed with a vivid imagination, there’s still a disconnection between who you are today and how you’ll be in the future. And so you behave as though you’ll always be the way you are in the present and that you have time to take care of future you. But the time between present you and the future you will soon evaporate.

The challenge in improving the life of the future you is in convincing your present self that your future you is worth investing in. So the question is, do you think your future you is worth investing time and effort today? Or said another way, what can you do today to make just a little easier for you in the future?

Take time to think about future you and then start taking actions that will increase the probability of future you being the person you imagine yourself to be. Get started today, your future you will be grateful you did.
