Take One Small Action That Will Make Your Future Self Thank You

Have you ever thought about one simple, spontaneous action you can take today that your future self will be grateful for? It doesn’t have to be big—it can be as simple as reconnecting with an old friend or making a meaningful connection.

For me, it’s calling my roommate from my sophomore year at The College of Wooster (shout out to Rebecca Schlag). While the chances of Becky being available to chat are slim, that’s okay. The point is, that making the call is a small action that helps me prioritize what truly matters.

Reaching out to people like Becky reminds me to focus on nurturing meaningful relationships, not just career milestones. Even a quick connection can lift your spirits and ground you in what really counts.

So, what’s your version of “call Becky”? What small, spontaneous action can you take today that your future self will thank you for?

Take the first step now, and make it happen.
