    Consider it like this

I'm... failing to. What does it have to do with doing your own future?

The "friend" is your future self, your present self can choose to help your future self or not; to put it into a common frame of reference, if you'd help your friend to achieve something, what's stopping you from helping your future self do the same?

The comic doesn't directly reference this, just simply saying "These are your lifetimes. USE THEM." so all of this is just my interpretation of it, but it seems logical to me that once you start thinking about your life as a series of lives (or different selves) you can plan accordingly. Feel free to disagree, if you interpret it differently then I would love to hear your perspective. :)
