This is where it all begins. One reason why most of us fail because we don’t think about the future. Doing something good now that will benefit you later is more ideal than living in the idea of YOLO. Isn’t it more fulfilling to accomplish something that will give positive result in the future?
I have come to realize this special advice later on and regret that I didn’t give my best in the past. An example of regret was when I totally got complacent and didn’t pass my internship report on time back in College. Turns out, that minuscule mistake became the biggest regret of my student life. You see, my late submission caused me to get off the list of graduates with honors. I was supposed to be one of the Cum Laudes of my batch but didn’t receive the award because of that minor mistake. I should have made the leap to simply submit on time.
Do something that your future self will thank you for will also leave no regrets in the future. Whether you get the result that you desire or totally opposite of what you want, it will still lead to a greater positive result in the future.
To all students,
Pump up your game and be the best student out there. Aim for higher marks, be active in school activities and learn something new each day. Trust me, all you learnings in school will come in handy in the real world. You are the real lucky ones because time is in your hands. You have a huge spare time and I hope you’ll use it wisely. This is the best time to put your nose in various books and learn from the written wisdom.
To all young adults,
I know you don’t have all the time in the world but then you have money to spare. Although there is a limited time, you can still learn new things through attending workshops or seminars, travel the world, buy equipments or materials for your hobbies and even enroll for Masters or Graduate School. This is the time to start up your career.
You can also concentrate on yourself and do activities such as exercising, eating healthy, having a skin regimen, taking vitamins and looking after your wellbeing in general. Be the best version of yourself. This is also the time to strengthen your money.
To full adults,
It is not too late! I believe in the adage that old dogs can still learn new tricks. Retirement is near and by this time, you may want to plan what you want to do in the future where you’ll leave the corporate world and have the time in the world. Build up your financial so whatever you want to have you may attain it. It is not too late to also learn a new hobby, explore the world in a new light and take care of yourself.
Of course, if you have already made positive changes in the past it won’t be difficult to be on this stage. This is actually the “future” on thanking your future self.
To conclude my post, please always keep in mind and repeat after me:
Do Something That Your Future Self Will Thank You For
