You do not know where you will be, what you will do and how you will feel in ten, twenty, thirty years. But, time flies and before long you will find yourself in the place of your older version.
Answer some important questions, the kind you could have asked yourself ten, twenty, thirty years ago.
Do an experiment - ask yourself the questions written below - this moment.
Imagine your older version and try to interact with it and get answers to the questions below.
What was your career like? Did you love what you did? Did you do what you wanted to do? How important is money and did it affect the realization of dreams? Have you created something that you love and will leave as your legacy? Has anyone looked up to you?

Read all the books you were interested in? Visited all the places you wanted to see? What are your favorite rituals that you do just for yourself?
Do you have children? Are you married, do you have a family? Who has always cared for you the most? How did you get married? Did you wish for it or did it just happen? What are your children like, are they like you? Are you proud of them? Do they think you are a good parent? If you didn't have children, how did it come about, was it your decision or not?
Have you had the love of your life? How did you meet her? Were there more? What did you do wrong in a relationship that you didn't want to leave? Have you learned from these mistakes and forgiven yourself? Do you always regret something and why? Have you remained friends with any former loves? What are your good and painful memories?
Create your own happiness - now! Photo: Bruno Adam / UnsplashAre you happy? What is happiness for you and have you achieved it? Have you felt it in moments, in periods? When, with whom? Have you found peace in your soul? Are you reconciled with yourself and your life, with the people and the world around you? Is there something you've never forgiven yourself or someone else for?
Do you love your life? And if you could go back now, would you do anything differently?
The point of this experiment is to realize that the power of creating your future is the one from which you want to get the answers in your hands, in the present, in this moment.
The way you live, think, feel, act - now - creates a path to a happier older version of you.
