Sorry for being always a bit critical of your articles, but I feel that it might be a good balance π
While I think that living up to a future self can inspire good actions, I wonder if the act of comparison is all too helpful.
The base of my argument being that comparing always implies some kind of struggle. For example, I feel that I do not live a good life, but I tell myself that one day I will be better. Such thinking means that my mind is in constant conflict with itself. I will always feel that I should be different.
Instead, what happens when I accept my current state? What happens when I actually see my behavior as being wrong without trying to change it? Perhaps in this lies the first step in changing?
Anyway, keep up the good work ππ
