"The 10 Year Letter" is a thought-provoking and introspective exercise in self-reflection and forward-thinking. The act of writing a letter to yourself can serve as a roadmap, guiding individuals towards their goals and reminding them that they are in control of shaping their own destiny. By imagining their future lives in great detail, readers may become more aware of their values and priorities, and consequently, make decisions in the present that align more closely with their desired future. This kind of reflection can lead to personal growth and a greater sense of purpose."

"3 years ago, I was challenged to write a letter to myself 10 Years into the future. A letter detailing who I have become, what I value, the impact I was making in this world and what my life will look like. This was the most challenging and thought provoking process I have ever been through. It challenged me to design a world in which I was proud, impacting others, what my relationships look like, and how I view myself as a mother, a wife, and in my work. I wrote about how I wanted to build a home in which my children had space and activities that would become the home that all of their friends and our community gravitated toward. As I sit in the home we built, surrounded by noise and laughter with our community around us, I am forced to wonder what else I have total control over. The 10 Year Letter has impacted my life in ways I could not have foreseen and I look forward to stepping into the true life I have designed in the years to come. "

"It has brought my vision into focus. It was a hard letter to right because if made me look at a lot of hard truths I haven’t actually dealt with before. Not only did it give me the opportunity to explore my WHY, but has set me on a path to really accomplish my goals!!! I frequently revisit my letter when I need to refocus. "

Tim Pacheco
"Before writing my 10-year letter, I had to identify my core values. This brought clarity and certainty about my life goals. Writing the letter quickly followed, as I could clearly envision my future. It impacted me deeply. Recently, I realized that many things I predicted are already happening, even after just six months. I'm making the right choices for my future, focusing on priorities that align with my core values, both in my career and family life."

"The 10-year letter is one of the most powerful tools I’ve seen for helping people create a vision from both their head and heart. It’s a heartfelt letter that creates a vision, pulling you forward. When done right, you no longer need to push yourself each morning. To me, the 10-year letter ignites the human spirit. It’s a tool everyone, regardless of age or background, should write because it might be the difference that makes a difference in your life."
Jordan Freed
"I'm excited to share my experience with the 10-year letter process. Introduced during a tough time, amidst a contentious divorce, it shifted my perspective from bleak to empowering. Contemplating my future, I realized I could shape it intentionally. I answered prompt questions slowly, revisiting them to ensure they were right. The most challenging part was narrowing the letter's focus, deciding what was essential. This process was liberating, allowing me to let go of unnecessary worries. Now, I'm actively working toward the future I envisioned and seeing it materialize."
Scott Klaas

I have based major life decisions around these goals and dreams, and I am incredibly grateful to have experienced this exercise."

"I lead a small and mighty team of real estate agents in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2021, I attended a mastermind where we were given a 10-year life exercise. On the plane ride, I answered the questions and started to cry. These questions, though simple, were powerful enough to change lives. They made me envision a life by design, filled with purpose. The facilitators helped us focus on what mattered most, and we crafted our ideal lives for the next 10 years. Since then, I’ve shared the 10-year letter exercise with many, believing it can transform lives. I look at mine every day, and I know you will too."
