Your Deathbed Self Has It ALL WRONG?!
What if the advice you're told to live by is actually sabotaging your happiness today?
Let's talk about your future. Not the distant, sci-fi future, but the you who's much, much older. Like, almost done living.
You know how people often say that folks on their deathbeds regret not doing certain things?
Things like spending more time with family, traveling, or worrying less?
It's a common idea, right?
And it makes us think, "Oh man, I should probably change my life now so I don't have those same regrets."
But what if that "wise old you" isn't actually the best person to get advice from?
What if they're a little off-base?
This week, we're looking at an idea called The Deathbed Fallacy.
It's about why we might be listening too much to what our future selves think they'd regret. And why their advice might not be the right fit for your life right now.
It's a pretty interesting way to look at things, and it might make you think differently about what truly matters.
