Writing A Letter To Your Future Self
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment to see how much of it has come true.
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things agree with your expectations in the past. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are affected by a lot of changes along the way. The letter lets you recognize how your current idea differs from the past.
In addition to that, at the very moment you are writing the letter, your thoughts are stored right there in those words. When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past with how you are now. It's very interesting to do so.
Take out a pen and paper right now and start writing your letter to your future self. Set a time period to write to. Then start writing. Think about the type of person you will be, your place in life, what you will have realized then, and so on.
Put it in a safe space where no one can find it. When you open this sometime in the near future, you might gain additional insights(了解) about yourself and your journey in the past few years.

C. Imagine how you will be like during that time period.
D. If you haven't, join me in writing a letter to yourself.
E. This lets you see how much things have changed since then.
F. At the end of the letter, write the date to open it on the cover.
