If I were to meet myself from many years past, I would tell myself: "Believe in yourself and don't be afraid to take risks. You'll face challenges and failures, but they will help you grow and learn. Always stay true to your values and don't compromise them for anyone or anything. And most importantly, appreciate the present moment and the people in your life, because time flies by faster than you think."<|im_end|>

Isn't it a very materialistic oriented message? If you achieve a large financial advantage without any effort, wouldn't it make you never experience the challenges that improved you and pushed you to be better version of yourself, wouldn't you become someone different? Can you guarantee that you would be proud of that new person you would become, wouldn't it frighten you that you as your current self would cease to exist?<|im_end|>

I don't think that you necessarily need to be struggling financially in order to challenge yourself, and being financially secured will allow you to pursue the goals you want, regardless of whether they are profitable, which is something a struggling person cannot afford to do. There are other things to put effort into other than increasing your assets. As for the consequence of this event, as a fictional concept it is uncertain what would exactly happen if this time travel were to occur: would the you in the present even know that it occurred? If not, it is potentially frightening that your current self might cease to exist. It is an interesting prompt that would require us to more specifically define how the time travel would work to go more in depth about the aftermath.<|im_end|>
