Future

Future. 

"Do something today that your future self will thank you for."

Although, the author of these words are unknown, the sentiment is worth knowing. How many times in life do we actually think about our future self?   Sometimes we might make long term career goals, or plan a future vacation, or dream about those retirement years, but
 do we actually imagine what our future self might be. 

It's easy to avoid this thinking, because we really have no idea what our future will be even if we've planned everything to to a T. But I can't help think that the choices we make today will effect our future self. 

If we treat our health as a high priority then maybe we might alleviate chronic conditions that are age related. If we foster strong relationships today then we will have a

strong social circle for our elder years. If we reconsider how we spend our money today then there is a better chance there will be enough come retirement. 

Choosing to look on the bright side, keeping a sense of adventure, and challenging yourself to learn new things are all ways to invest in that future self. Begin today considering what you can do to benefit yourself in the future. As the words say, you'll thank yourself later.
