The 10-Year Rule
Will this matter in a decade?
Feeling stuck?
Zoom the f*ck out.
Ten years from now…
Will this moment still matter?
The failure.
The rejection.
The “what if I mess it up?” spiral.
Probably not.
But you know what will matter?
The risks you didn’t take.
The chances you let pass.
The version of you that stayed silent to stay liked.
You didn’t come here to play it safe.
You came here to build a life that actually means something.
So play the long game.
Trust the messy decisions that pull you forward.
Make moves your future self will be proud of.
✨
OFH Prompt:
What decisions are you avoiding now…
that your future self will ache for later?
You’re not late.
You’re not lost.
You’re just being called to rise.
Don’t wait for hindsight to validate your intuition.
Start now.
Start messy.
Start OFH.
