A Year From Now You Might Wish You Started Today
So, do it now!

I have a birthday this month. The big 58. I am well aware my time clock is ticking. All of our time clocks are ticking. Sometimes I feel like I’m looking at my life as though I am hovering over it from above…
20 or 30 years from now…
in a drone…
watching…
circling…
I do like to think of my life from far in the future sometimes. For some reason it keeps me motivated and reminds me of what‘s really important — today.
My future old-lady-self talks to me often, as though she is speaking from her rocking chair 20, 30 years from now. She whispers wisdom in my ears — oh, and she sometimes yells, too. She keeps me accountable and aware of how precious time is.
“OK, little Michelle— What are you spending your time doing today? Is it moving you towards your happy future life?”
