Imagine yourself in a relay. The person next to you to whom you pass on the baton is you 5 years from now.

After every round or lap, you pass the baton to your future self. You only have to focus on making yourself win. Pass the baton. The worm you put in today is the effort that you need to complete the round and pass the baton to your future self. You only have to make your future self proud and consistent efforts are the only way to do it.
