The best motivation

For me, the best motivation is empathy towards the future me.

I imagine myself in the future if I don’t do the thing. What if I don’t jog today? What if I don’t start with the project now? What if I don’t write the blogpost? Will the future me be happy, or will the future me regret the lack of action for the rest of his life?

The further in the future I go, the more prominent the feeling is. In a nursing home, only memories are left. The regret is at its largest yet nothing can be done.
