I find the comparison between how we treat our past, present, and future selves and how we treat others in relationships incredibly insightful. It’s true that we often impose unrealistic expectations on our future selves, much like we might in unhealthy relationships. This idea of being 'in it together' with our different selves really resonates with me—self-responsibility should be about compassion and realistic goals, not harsh punishment.

People often mirror the treatment they received, and harmful beliefs persist. Education is key to understanding and addressing these issues, leading to positive change.

[John Judah]

I think the major key to this thing is mindset and orientation. The attitude to see failure as the yardstick to self-improvement and actualization. Having the courage to keep moving inspire of all odds .

I think this message offers a compelling perspective on personal growth and self-discipline. It draws an interesting comparison between how we treat our past and future selves and how we treat others in relationships. The idea that consistency and success come from having a cooperative, loving relationship with different versions of ourselves is powerful. The analogy of abusive patterns—whether in diets, addictions, or controlling behaviors—makes it clear how important it is to develop self-responsibility. The message is clear: true self-responsibility fosters freedom, not only for ourselves but in how we relate to others.

Self responsibility means freedom has to be one of the most powerful phrases I’ve read in a while! This post made me think on so many things that did not make that much sense to me.

We always read that serial killers are usually people that have been abused as children, or that have lived a traumatizing life, enduring what they are currently doing to their victims. I’ve never understood it because I’ve always thought that someone who has lived through a certain kind of pain should know what it feels like and not wish it upon others.

But reading this post made me realize that it’s true, the abused tend to abuse.

I need more understanding of this. I only knew that the person who is damaged in a relationship tends to damage others will will come into their lives in the future. I have seen this happen but I do not understand why it should be happening.

Determination is really the key to everything great in life. Knowing what you want and having the discipline to get it done.

[Divine Stephens]

The straightforward solution is to practice self-control, establish specific objectives, and keep an optimistic outlook in the face of difficulties. Relentless perseverance, tenacity, and flexibility provide doors to extraordinary achievement.

[Mr Mr 1]

Determination transcends mere persistence; it represents a proactive mindset that treats challenges as catalysts for personal growth. It’s about embracing failures as learning experiences, adjusting plans as needed, and having an unshakeable confidence in your potential to overcome difficulties. A person driven by determination remains unwavering in their commitment to long-term goals, showing adaptability and resilience even when facing obstacles.

[Shiru Elizabeth]

Staying focused, being determined to get what you want and what you desire is an absolute necessity for every human. Consistency is definitely the key to success. Keep at it continuously and you will see your reward.

[Nisha DSouza]

I agree. Be kind to your past and future selves.

[Gabrielle Stepp]

I will be kinder to my future and past selves

OLDER AND YOUNGER VERSIONS


"Be in it together in both versions of yourself, " is a great point. We must realize there are two versions of self. Without sloppiness, we work on self. The key ingredients of consistency and determination is relevant to success. It is worth noting.

Thank you.

The abused truly and surely abused. When self in time results from a responsible self in space, true freedom is in order. Your thoughts are interesting.

[Fanisa Ndhabambi]

This is quite interesting to see how all of these key words if not been honest with yourself ultimately you won't reach true success in all that you aspire to do. They are forming a ripple effect to future success when you follow this to the tee.

[Ajiferuke Ajibola]

I am understanding what you mean by 'In it Together' with each article you write on it. Yourself in time and space are to be given consideration per time to achieve true freedom and happiness.
