Balancing the Future Self and the Present Moment
The future self should not be a reason to sacrifice the present moment for a deferred life plan. While it is important to invest in a compounding future, it is equally vital to live in the present and not assume that the future is guaranteed. The key is to assume the identity of the future self now, shaping present actions to align with the desired future self. This involves envisioning who the future self wants to be and using it as inspiration to act in a more powerful way in the present, rather than being stuck in past behaviors.
