And so it just leads you to not needing to have it all figured out.
Instead, you're just in a state of learning, which is a growth mindset.
The main reason that people have a hard time, and this is something that Daniel Gilbert said, he's a Harvard psychologist who's been studying this concept for 20 years, and he actually gave a main stage TED Talk called The Psychology of Your Future Self back in 2014.
But he said that the reason people have a hard time imagining their future self is because they don't do it.
They literally don't take the time.
If anyone here was sitting listening, I would ask, in the last...
seven days, how much time have you spent imagining your future self?
How much time have you spent journaling and thinking about it?
My guess is that the average listener, and this is a very like, and maybe this group would be different because these are young people who are actually-
have big visions.
But I'd say the average person who struggles to think about this, the main reason is just because they're not taking the time to think about it.
Imagination is very much a skill.
It's a skill that you can get better and better at.
Psychologists, there's kind of levels to seeing your future self.
The first one is honestly just connecting with your future self and having empathy for them.
Just like you would want to have empathy for your past self
A crucial first step to connecting to your future self is having empathy that your future self is a real person.
They're coming from a certain place, and they're being impacted by what you do.
And so just like I would have empathy for another person if I was more emotionally intelligent, I would realize that they're coming from a different place than me.
They've got different perspectives, different values, different goals.
