My future self is the reason that I'm able to avoid procrastination. Podcast, take a moment and think how your future self would be if you failed to act today on any of your goals.

Do I wanna work on days where I’m unmotivated? Often nope. But I do it because I know that I need to be able to pay rent and continue to pursue my passion.

Do I see the fruits of my labour immediately? Often not. But I work hard so that I can have continual success throughout my career.

My future self is now the incentive for waking up in the morning. Why would I want to deny my future of opportunity? Especially when those opportunities can be created today.

As a species, we ultimately have two choices:

  • Do uncomfortable things now to please and improve your future self
  • Make future self uncomfortable and trust they’ll rise to the challenge

I prefer the first one.

You do not want to make your future self uncomfortable. Because your future self is just you… in a few days, weeks, or months. If you procrastinate, you’ll just give your future self a lot of challenges that will be difficult to deal with.
