Those who prioritize their future self get ahead.
Because while this mostly makes the now harder, it makes the later easier. And there’s A LOT more later than there is now.
The trick, however, is to mindfully walk this balance between future you and current you’s needs.
Consistent misery isn’t a good present or long-term strategy. But, neither is consistent comfort. Too much comfort leads to a lot more later misery.
It’s about making the journey of life an uphill climb that’s as enjoyable as possible—so that you’re able to consistently step upwards towards a greater future self while also getting to enjoy the view of the climb along the way.
Future you will be proud and thankful of this current, reading-this-post-you if you do.
