The Game of Retrospection

Hello there,

Let's have some fun.

But first, let me explain the context of this game.

Yesterday, my friend and I had our usual talk, during which he revealed to?me?his second?bike purchase. Suddenly, we were reminded of our college days?when we used to arrive on bicycles. We could actually see the upscaling we'd done in our lives.

And it made me question how we are so preoccupied with the future that we fail to appreciate the now.

Now, let's get started with the game, which is, by the way, quite simple:

Step 1) Take a moment to travel back in time five years.

Step 2) Recall those times as vividly as possible.

Step 3)?Now Compare your' then-self v/s today-self.

Step 4) There can be only 2 scenarios

a) You have grown in life:

Now, If you have been raising the bar, improved your way of living.

Take a moment and pat your back because you deserve this all.

You have come a long way and there’s still far to go.

b) You seem to have fallen behind:

Now, If you feel that you are currently in this scenario let me assure you, that all of the ones in the above scenario have been here. Often we feel like we are not even at the starting point.

In the end, I want to say keep hustling towards your goal and things will keep falling in place.

Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift and that’s why we call it the present.

Thanks for reading my newsletter, let me know your thoughts on it.
