What's your trade-off?
A lot of times, I ask myself
What would you have traded off to be here?
In terms of habits, wealth, family and emotional well-being.
The “college version” of myself would have aspired for the salary I have now
The “early 20s version” of myself would have aspired for the routine I have now
The “unfit 25 year version” would have been proud of the weight I deadlift now.
The “rookie 28 year marketer” would be proud of where I’m now.
The “novice Youtuber” would be proud of the 65 videos I have produced in 2022.
My younger self would have traded a lot of energy, time and happiness to have what I have now. But no, I want to look forward regret what I have NOT done.
It’s so easy to lose oneself to their own perfection or their own definition of success. At times we need to look back to see how much we’ve moved forward.
What would you have given to be where you’re at this point of time?
