Future Self or Not Regretting It Later

This one's for you, Leela Lemon Verbena...

Thinking deeply about your choices and actions from the stance of your future self can serve as both a motivational and a corrective force. It can help you stay true to who you really are as well as inspire you to leverage your desires against your fears.

You are dealt cards that are both good and bad, 
 but you are the one who plays them.

Life must be lived forward 

but understood backward.
