A Visit to See The Future Me

In life, there is always one bad decision or choice we have made and would like to change, and at times, it could be a good decision that we had made and would just want to re-live that moment. Nobody knows what the future brings, but I am always hoping for the best, and I try to ensure that every day I take one step forward to a better future. I always consider myself a thinker, and I have always wished I could know the two outcomes of my every decision, both positive and negative.

This brings me to the question: “Would I currently want to change the future?”

The fear of uncertainty is what affects us at times, as we are always scared of the unknown. Why would I want to change a future that I don’t know the outcome of, and the only deciding factor is “the choice we make”. One of the greatest gifts God has given man is “freedom of Choice or Will”. Every decision a man makes can either make or break him, so if I look back in time and could see a pattern that shows a broken future, only then would I want to change the future. However, if I could see a future after looking at my past, that offer more promising and brighter future, then instead of changing it, I would look for a catalyst to accelerate the process.

I had always pictured myself as an office person, working 8 am - 5 pm, and with each year passing by, I get better pay or salary. However, change is one of the few things in life that is constantly changing. Last year, I got an eureka moment, and I switched to farming as a business, and it has been interesting to learn. So if I were to travel to the future, I would look for or ask my future self to list all mistakes encountered and would work on eliminating them. I have watched so many time travel movies, so I would only agree to do this if it would not create a parallel or alternate universe and if it would not create a rift or break in time.

What would I want to be remembered for?

I had never asked myself what I want people to remember me as, but if I am to answer this question now, I would want people to recognize me as someone who excelled at anything I lay my hands on or someone whom God has blessed the works of his hands. As I said earlier, I am not transitioning to become a farmer, and I want people to be pleased with my products. Eventually, I could tackle reducing the rate of hunger in Nigeria, for a start, by making my products affordable.

If the future is unchangeable, what next?

If it were not possible to change the future, I would still like to have a 1-on-1 conversation with my future self to understand his past mistakes and his current or future goals. In that way, I would have a target goal we are both trying to achieve. It might not be easy accepting a future that you might be unable to change, but I would find comfort in knowing that my future self is currently not in the same place as my past self.

Any Regret About My Travel In The Future?

Well, yes, there has always been one regret that I know traveling to the future is unable to change, and that’s traveling to the past to see my late dad. I don’t really have a lot of friend but my dad has been my greatest supporter before he died. He believed in me more than even myself, and I know traveling to the future and seeing what I would have acheievwd it something that he would be so proud of.

Another regret about traveling to the future is that you get to know the end dates of your loved ones, and this could have a traumatic effect. However, for me, knowing when a loved one would die would make me want to create wonderful memories with them while they are still alive, but the regret is that one you would live with the pain or burden of knowing and not being able to tell them.

Gbammmmm, I just thought about a reason why I should not regret my travel to the future is that I would be wealthier because I would know stocks, crypto, and other assets to invest in that has a guaranteed high returns.
