In what ways can thinking of the end bring us peace of mind in the present? How can we gather strength from past generations before us? Today we begin to look at the people that we want to become and how that can direct us in the right direction in the present. In everyday life mundane decisions like where to eat, what television show to watch, or which shirt to wear can seem insignificant especially without thinking about your future self.

Humans naturally are working to escape pain, doing whatever in the moment to seek out immediate gratification. If we can begin to shift our mindset into what will make us happiest right now in the moment to what will make our future selves proud down the line we can begin to see a shift in behavior in our present.

In many ways this can seem daunting, today’s decisions could influence 30 years in the future or even further after you have left this life, but the key is starting small and with direction. Identities and titles will change, but characteristics, like courage, kindness and generosity can influence your daily life knowing in 40 years that’s how you’ll want to leave your legacy behind!
