Have you ever wondered what your future self would think of the person you are today? 

Marrakech – Have you ever wondered what your future self would think of the person you are today? 

Would they be proud of your progress, amused by your worries, or surprised by how life turned out? 

Writing a letter to your future self is a simple yet powerful way to connect with the person you are becoming.

Why write to your future self?

A letter to your future self serves as a time capsule of your thoughts, dreams, and emotions. 

It allows you to:

Reflect on your present – Writing forces you to pause and consider your current challenges, goals, and aspirations.

Set intentions for the future – You can outline your hopes and dreams, giving your future self a benchmark to see how far you’ve come.

Capture emotions & growth – Your future self might forget the emotions you’re experiencing now, but your letter will remind you of them vividly.

Gain perspective – When you read the letter later, you’ll see how much you’ve grown, what mattered to you, and whether your worries were worth stressing over.

How to do it? 

Choose a timeframe – Decide whether you want to read it in a year, five years, or even a decade.

Be honest and personal – Write as if you’re having a deep conversation with yourself. 

Mention your fears, hopes, and even the small things that bring you joy.

Ask questions – Challenge your future self with questions like: Did you achieve your dreams? Are you happy?

Offer advice & encouragement – You know yourself best. Give your future self a pep talk or words of wisdom.

Seal & store it – Keep your letter somewhere safe or use an online service like FutureMe.org to email it to yourself on a chosen date.

What happens when you read it?

When you finally open the letter, you’ll experience a mix of nostalgia, pride, and maybe even a little laughter. 

You might realize you worried too much about things that didn’t matter, or you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come. 

Either way, it’s a rewarding experience that connects you with your own journey.

So why wait?

Grab a pen (or open a document) and start writing to the most important person in your life — your future self.
