Seek the wisdom of your future self - ideally yourself on your deathbed.
Hindsight may be 20/20 - use your future self's hindsight to your advantage in the present.
What would the person at the end of your life looking back advise you to do or not do? To say or not say? To think or not think? How would they want you to care for yourself and others? How would they advise you to spend your time? How would they counsel you to spend your life?
Rather than simply thinking about it, write it down. Doing so can be a sobering exercise, but one that can save you from a lot of remorse and disappointment in the future.
- Pratibha Anand
