Imagine that you have just received a letter from your future self. You open it anxiously, eager to find out what's in store for you in the years ahead.
As you begin reading the opening lines, it is clear that your future self is very happy and grateful. This is a good sign.
Continuing, you discover that your future self has identified today's date as the moment when things began to change for the better! That's why the letter was addressed to this particular version of you.
You begin to think about decisions you can make today that will have the power to change the course of your life for the better.
The letter does not mention many specifics, but it does talk in vague terms about trials, joys and new friendships ahead. All of these things will play a key role in your personal development.
The letter also talks about the impact of habits. It emphasizes the need to conquer bad habits and develop good ones. What bad habit could, if stopped, make the biggest difference for you? What good habit can you begin to cultivate?
Your future self closes the letter by encouraging you to forgive yourself for past mistakes and acknowledge your many strengths. The path ahead will not be easy, but it will certainly be worthwhile.
As you fold up the letter and put it back in the envelope, you pause to reflect on the life you've lived so far and the experiences that have made you the person you are. You picture your future self smiling and vow to do whatever it takes to become the person you have always known you can be.
