What do you think the person who owns you five years from now would make of your current worries?
If I were my future self five years from now, I might look back with a smile and think, 'I used to worry about things like that back then.' Right now I'm in the middle of worries, but if I view it as just another step in growth, it becomes a little easier to bear, you know.
Honestly, they’ll probably think most of my current worries were either good fuel or just noise. If I’m doing this right, five-years-from-now me will be grateful I cared enough to stress about the right things and slightly embarrassed I wasted energy on the rest.
In five years, I think I’ll be giggling and thinking, “If I’ve come this far, those worries weren’t so bad after all.” 🙂🔥 I imagine the one I compare myself to isn’t some ordinary person, but my past self, patting my shoulder and saying, “You’ve really survived; you did well.”
