Do something today that will help you tomorrow

What does this mean?

We hear this phrase all the time. We always hear people telling us to do something that will help us in the future. But, what does this mean? Well, to simply put, this means that we should be doing something that will help us in the future. Whether you believe it, we already do this on a day to day basis. Just like how we do things to reach our physical needs, it is just as important to help our minds so that we could stay motivated and keep striving for higher goals. In other words, it's important to do something that your future self will thank you for. For instance, there is so much pressure for high school students to get into college. If you happen to be a high school student and you're reading this, I want you to do something for me. I want you to walk up to your parents, guardian, or whoever, sit them down, and just openly discuss your goals, dreams, and aspirations to see if college even fits into the picture. Feel free to discuss everything from career, family, and aspirations to your mental health and well-being. Don't hide your feelings either. They're your parents. They'll probably understand. Hey, but if they don't, then you can always walk away and start a new life of your very own. At the end of the day, it's your life and only you can decide how you want to live it. We should be able to decide what to do based on our dreams, desires, and needs (not based on someone else's expectations). We're only as old as we are once and that's why it's so important to make the most out of it.
