"In 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, or 20, baring fatality, you will become someone. The question to ask yourself is: Who will your future self be? That is, perhaps, the most important question any human can ask themself." - Benjamin Hardy

If you've put much thought into this before, this will be an easier exercise than those who have not put thought into it.

• Who are you going to be in a year from now?
• Who are you going to be in 5 years?
• Who are you going to be in 10 years?

Now let's look the other way:

• Who were you 10 years ago?
  • How different was that person from the person you are today
• End-of-History Illusion: It's the belief that you've substantially changed in the past, but likely won't change much in the future
• If a stranger could have a conversation with the person you were 10 years ago, and the person you are today, they'd be talking to two totally different people. Your future self will be just as different
• Our future self will be far different than we expect, even without conscious effort on our part.
• Your future self is a totally different person than you are today

Final Cause:

Aristotle: All intelligent human action is intentional, and based on sought after causes or ends.

• We can envision and choose goals, and direct our behavior at our goals.
• Our goals are the cause of what we do. Every intelligent action is toward an aim
  • All behavior is done  for an end
    • the goal, or end, is   the cause of our behavior

Benjamin Hardy: Think and act from your goal, rather than toward your goal

Richie Norton: organize your life around the dream, not endlessly toward it

1. Decide who you want to be
2. Act from that identity immediately
