Envisioning the future is depressing for some, but that is only because many people are scared to face harsh truths. If someone is not willing to make their future self proud, then of course it will be painful to envision sitting around a dinner table with grandchildren when you’re 75. But this particular vision can often be a motivating factor in someone’s present reality to make positive impact and accomplish a particular goal. In the video above, Lebron James describes a scenario in which he is having discussions with his family as an older man. He references this to emphasize the importance of taking control of the present moment! It helps someone or a team keep an edge about what is being done due to the present moment’s effect on contentment later in life. That’s the harsh truth – And you can choose to face this truth – or run away from it – when going about your life. Your call.
