Your best advisor

Can be yourself.

Taken from a clubhouse featuring Naval Ravikant. Paraphrasing, this is his exercise:

Imagine yourself from 5 years ago.

Go into detail on how you, felt, what you did, who you were with, your emotional state, your goals, your dreams, your friendships, your partner, etc…

Then try to give (in writing), the best advise to that past self.

Repeat the exercise to the 10 years ago yourself, and then 15 and 20. Go as far back as it makes sense to you.

Analyze the different sets of advise and find patterns, differences and similarities.

Try to apply that set of advise to yourself, today.

Execute.
