Patrick Flanery. Okay. He's mostly an actor but he did write a book. He wrote a

self inspirational book and I think was named " Jane Two " and I believe this quote

actually comes from it. I don't remember him a lot as an actor, but I do remember

there was a movie in the late 1990s called "Powder" and he played the main

character for that. And it was a very interesting different movie. But anyway,

let's get into today's quote. " Do something today that your future self

will thank you for. " Yeah. I really like this quote. But anyway, let's, let's, let's

look at the note here. Don't we all wish a future you or a future you know,

yourself could time travel and come back to give yourself advice ? You know, what

would you say to yourself if that could happen ? It's kind of a cool thing to

think about ? Of course , I'm sure a lot of people would probably talk about a

butterfly effect and you know, if you actually did that you might change your

life too much. And you know, you might mess things up. That's true but I still

wouldn't mind. it I still would like it. I would tell myself a lot of things if I

could do it. Of course you know, you never know when you get older and you know, you

look in the mirror and you wonder if you can convince yourself. Yes this is me. I'm

you younger. You know I always think about some words from from my father . He

said you know, one day when you get older, you look in the mirror and he said you

say who are you ? Who is that person ? I kind of wonder if a younger me would

actually recognize me. But probably with intimate knowledge I could probably

convince him. I am you. But anyway you know we would all probably tell

ourselves different advice if this were possible. Now of course this is not

really possible. So let's continue here. This quote tries to make you look at

yourself from a third-person perspective and give yourself advice. You go out

and you know, from somebody else. What would you give yourself to try to

tell your future self or do something for your future self that your future

self would appreciate that you did today ? And I did notice that this quote ...

Yeah. This has this has been picked up by a lot of journalists and they like to

add some advice and here's some ... here's some general stuff that we could say. Of

course everybody's different. So everybody may have very different advice

that they would give themselves. And it should be that way because everybody is

different. Anyway, so let's let's look at the note here . What to do for your

future self or advice can vary from person to person. Just what I said.

However here is a list of some general tips that you know, a lot of people you

know, would appreciate. Never stop learning. I definitely agree with this

one. No matter how old you get, remember we've covered other quotes from Mark

Twain and a number of people that always tell you this. A lot of very important

people always tell you this. It doesn't matter you know, a lot of people think

you know, once you leave school... that's kind of you at the end of your learning

you don't have to concentrate. No. Learn always learn more. Always let your mind

go in a different direction and let it let it follow its path and try to learn

as much as you can even even right up to the day you die. All right. Let's continue.

All right so ... invest in yourself. Okay. By picking up more and more skills. Yeah.

Yeah I kind of wish I did more of these things myself now. Whatever it is. There's

many skills you know, learn another language, learn a martial art or learn,

learn how to cook. Oh there's many things. Whatever it is. The more skills you learn

you'd be surprised how they may come in handy or benefit you at some point.

Okay eat healthy. You know try to stay healthy. You never know what what kind of

illness you may come down with in the future. The healthier you stay, the better off

you'll probably be. And maybe you know the better, the better lifestyle

you could have. Try to stick to an exercise program. That's also part of

staying healthy as well. Forget about past regrets. Yeah. This sometimes it's a

tough one. But again move on and just keep going. That's what you should do.

Improve your communication skills. You know for whoever it is that you have to

communicate with this will always come in handy. Okay.

Search out and be loyal to those you believe really love you and would never

betray or cheat you. You know this is not always an easy thing to do because

sometimes people change. Along the way, And you must do the same

for them. That's just as important. Okay. This is just some advice. I'm sure many

you out there would have other good pieces of advice. You know, you can you

could send them. You send that and say... put them in the comments. Or send them. Let me

know if you have other good pieces of advice. You would like to tell your

younger self. Anyway, it's its food for thought to think about this. I hope you

got it. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
