Most success in life is a result of ignoring what current you feels like doing in favor of what future you will be glad you did.

Alternate pov: it's about arranging your life so that doing what current you feels like will result in success. (I've found this a very helpful point of view, not always applicable.)
One part of the reason is that it's very difficult to work really effectively unless it's what current you really, really wants to be doing. So when there's often a mismatch, that's worth pondering very carefully.

ah yes. this i agree with. but there are certain things that i never feel like doing before (i.e. exercise) but that i actually dont mind *while I am doing* and am always happy about after

Exercise is an example where I've really been helped by this point of view - asking "what forms of exercise do I most enjoy & look forward to". There's a big difference between different forms. Some I hate. Others I really enjoy.

Another part of the reason is that it's hugely important to cultivate awareness of what you enjoy. When you constantly suppress it, it's really damaging, IMO. (My personal experience, other people's mileage may vary!)

I forgot a third one, sign of my puritan inclinations. It's good to enjoy yourself
(Thanks to anyone reading this long list of replies. This has all been very much on my mind.)
