Two years ago I took out a high limit, zero annual fees, credit card and put it away for a rainy day (you know: omg water damage kind of rainy day). This week I needed that card unexpectedly and I was very concerned that my plans were for nothing, I had no idea what my pin was. So I made a guess, and got it right on the first try. Two years ago I managed to set the pin to something I could guess, and then completely forgot about it.
The point of this story is, I rarely have it brought to my attention how much the planning and foresight of my past selves have made my life better. We look back and say ’I’m glad I’ve grown and learnt so much, wadavis(2012) was fairly ignorant”, alternatively works of improvement are constant works in progress like your work or your schooling and it never comes up that last years work has made wonderful improvements to this years life..
It was very much like finding an Easter Egg left behind by my life’s developer, past me.
