Prospection, or the ability to set goals and make plans, is a unique aspect of human intelligence. To achieve great things, we must have intentional goals. We can't fly to the moon without first setting that goal, which drives innovation and progress. Similarly, we can't build a house without a blueprint. In order to connect with our future selves and live more fulfilling lives, we should shift our perspective on time. Instead of letting the past and present dictate our future, we should imagine our future selves and let them guide our present actions. Imagination is key to understanding our future selves and transforming our lives.
