My goal is to be the happiest old man I can be, and thinking this way also makes me take better care of my body. If I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself what will be a cooler story to tell grandkids, and that seems to steer me in the right direction.

One exercise that i do when im feeling anxious about my life decisions is to imagine myself in the future telling the story about my life now.
see if the story im telling makes sense, not if its a good story or a bad story, but if makes sense.
the catch is that it always does.

hear me out... I'm not talking about a financial retirement plan etc etc, we all know no one got that in this economy. But more in sense of what would you like to be doing after you are 70 and such.
I feel that talking about your immediate future can be so stressful, i for example know nothing about what I want to be doing in 1 or 5 years, but talking about a long distance and imagining myslef in old age brings me comfort and joy. Also it kinds drives away the conversation from "goals" or "ambitions" into more about the joys of everyday life that you care the most and would like to hone as you grow.

it's been challenging for me these days to do anything for my present and future selves. but what always shifts everything back into focus, is the thought of doing things to make my younger self happy; whether through the enjoyment of something, or the pursuit of my dreams. my younger self's happiness fills me with renewed purpose.
the most moving thing out of all of this, is the fact that my younger, present, and future selves, are all me. in caring for one version of myself, i'm caring for all versions. i'm caring for me.
if you're having a tough time finding the drive to take care of future you, think about what you would do for younger you. i'd do anything for younger me.

When hot people are friendly, it makes the people they’re talking to feel hotter about themselves.
