I came across this website during my daily rummaging around on the internet. Its an email time capsule sponcered by Forbes and Yahoo! We all know about the old version of a time capsule where we fill a box full of stuff and put it somewhere in hopes of finding it years later to walk down memory lane.
One of my influential high school teachers had us write a letter to ourselves and promised to mail it to us a couple years later. In the letter we were suppose to write some of our short and long term goals. Upon receiving it years later I reflected how many of the short term goals I have already accomplished and how close I was to obtaining my long term ones (more the fact of the matter was, how much my long term goals have changed and how different a person I am now).
My original thoughts for this blog was to encourage all 2 of my faithful readers to send an encapsulated email to that special someone so they get a sweet message a few years from now. But half way through this blog I realized SCREW THAT !!! Send that special someone a really deep and heart filled email TODAY. All to often people go through life not realizing the impact they have on others.
Since writing yourself a love letter may be a bit vain, I think it would be a fun idea to write down the dreams and goals of today and email them to your future self. Write down that what is special in your life: like your favorite song, shirt or restaurant … anything sentimental … mail it to yourself a few years from now for a good laugh of ‘life back in the day’. For example, what really lights up my life in the here and now: Berlin, Ingrid BabyPooh and Marcelo, 50 cent movie rentals, Doom the Board Game and Hallo Pizzas newest creation
In short …
save this time capsuled emailer for yourself
write those who are important to you NOW and let them know how richly they have touch your life
