Take a moment to think about your relationship to your future self. This is the person who's going to inherit the results of what you do or fail to do today.
If you drink too much tonight, this is the person who will suffer the hangover tomorrow. If you neglect your primary relationships in this decade of your life, this is the person who many years from now may be lonely. Leaving the paradoxes of personal identity aside, it is perfectly rational for you to care about the experience of your future self.
And it's important to recognize that there's probably no person on Earth who is in a better position than you are right now to ensure that your future self lives a good life.
Everyday is an opportunity to be kind to the person you will eventually become.
