Reflecting on conversations with your past and future self helps you gain perspective, clarifying what truly matters and revealing how much can change over time.
It reminds you that while circumstances shift, some feelings and values remain constant. This exercise grounds you in the present, encouraging you to learn from your past while thoughtfully shaping your future.
It’s a powerful way to align your actions today with the person you want to become.
Share this with someone who could use a moment of reflection—you might inspire a conversation they didn’t know they needed.
