A Message From your 90-Year Old Future Self – Guest Post by Karl Moore
Here’s an existential thought…
One day, you will be old.
And, like an episode of Quantum Leap, you may find yourself contemplating, and dreamily flashing back to key points in your life.
Perhaps even to… right now.
Imagine the 90-year old version of you looking back at your life today. Consider how they feel. Where they're at. What they’ve seen. How their priorities have shifted.
What changes would that future-self want you to make in your life now?
… Get out more… Reconnect with that work buddy… Say sorry… Ask your crush out for a drink… Read more… Work less… Prioritize peace… Thank your parents for what they tried to do… Be more you…
What would your future-self say to you?
Here’s the thing.
Sometimes, we get so mixed up in the day-to-day craziness of life, we forget the bigger picture.
We forget that we narrate our lives – and have to take time out to consider where we are, and where we’d like to be.
In the words of Socrates: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
So, if you can…
Take a few minutes out today to genuinely consider your life.
How is your life going?
And where would you like it to go?
The future older version of yourself might just help guide you.
Because, as the Cheshire Cat told a lost Alice in Wonderland:
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.”
Love, your #1 fan —
