There's a version of You and Me that is a year older. And there will be 8,760 hours where we'll be choosing what that person โ our Future Self โ will have in their life.
What resources might we save? What skills might we hone? What relationships might we cultivate a bit more deeply?
How will our physical vitality be? Will there be progress on what mattersโฆ or not so much?
Thriving is grounded in devotion. We take inspired actions, no matter how seemingly insignificant now, for the benefit of our life to come.
It's possible to imagine that if we walk a bit more today and a bit more next month and keep that up, our Future Self will have more freedom. The extra stamina would open up paths to explore. And, after a year of morning miles, for example, our Future Self would identify as someone who "regularly moves for the pleasure in it."
Save $10 a week, and your one-year-older Future Self has a gift from you of $520 to spend however they choose. It's true $10 doesn't buy much. It's true walking a mile doesn't suddenly change our vitality.
But compounded over just a year (and not projected too far into the future), the extra freedom and enhanced thriving can be felt. If you like being generous with others, include your Future Self a year from now in your thoughtfulness. Then, collect.
Collect by noticing what you've done over the past year that matters to you now. Collect by appreciating how hard it was at times, how when you got off-track, you got back onโฆ and here you are, now, with more options and real skills that you would NOT have without the kind-hearted, courageous efforts of your Past Selves.
