Dear Earthlings,

It’s hard to think about the long term. We want what we want right away. We want to be happy and comfortable now, and it’s easy to forget about that same us who we will be in the future. We like to imagine we’ll always have time to fix the things we’ve been meaning to fix.

But it’s really important that we think about the future. It’s important that we think about how our actions will affect (or won’t affect) the world later in our own lives and also after our lives. 

We don’t remember people from history because they were successful, happy, and comfortable in the present. We remember them because of what they left behind. What will you leave behind?

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
