when you're making a decision to consult your future self. So if you're stuck, see if you can sort of send a text or make a phone call to the you of 10 years from now. So think about, let's say that you're 28 years old, all right? What does 38-year-old you want you to do? 38-year-old wants you to put a little bit more money in your 401k and spend a little less money at Applebee's.

That's what you're... That's what 38-year-old you wants you to do. If you're at a juncture and you're saying, God, should I do this unethical thing or should I not? 98% of us, 38-year-old you wants you to do the right thing. The you of 10 years from now is really looking out for your best interests. And here's the thing.

Well, the other thing is also, we can make a pretty safe prediction about what the you of 10 years from now will care about. And it's not most things. The me of 10 years from now isn't going to care what I have for dinner tonight. It isn't going to care what t-shirt I wore today. But it is going to care, did I do the work and build a stable foundation for myself, for my family, for my team?

It is going to care of, did I use my opportunity, this vanishingly short amount of time that I'm alive to like learn and grow and do something and contribute. It's going to care if I, 10 years from now, if I do the wrong thing, I have to confront the me of 2032, who's going to be wagging his finger at me saying, shame on you. Why'd you do the wrong thing?

And it's going to care if I don't reach out and build relationships of love and connection and affinity and belonging. And again, it's not super complicated, but I think the cool thing is that this emotion that we often try to avoid is giving us this very, very clear window into what makes life worth living.
