How often do we consider the impact of our decisions on our future selves? What if we started making choices not only for our present selves but also for who we will be two decades down the line? This episode takes you on a journey to discover the profound effects of having a relationship with your future self and how this connection influences the decisions you make today, which in turn, shape your tomorrow.
We kick off by deconstructing the notion of having a 'plan B' and explore why it often serves as a less optimal, easier route. We delve into the idea of the Future Self Framework - a fascinating strategy that encourages us to make decisions with our future selves in mind, inspiring us to live longer and make choices that our future selves would applaud. We also shed light on the significance of teaching our children about the long-term consequences of their decisions, an underappreciated cornerstone of personal growth.
Lastly, we dive into the process of making decisions for our future selves. We reflect on how past experiences and parental influence shape our choices, and how certain steps like accepting a promotion or changing jobs may lead to regrets later on due to increased time and travel. Learn how to balance your current needs with long-term objectives and navigate life choices, ensuring that you're making the best decisions for your future self. Don't miss this enlightening discussion on how connecting with your future self can guide you to a fulfilled life.
