If someone gave you an envelope with a pic of your future physique in 5 years to come - inside of it, would you open it?
Why or why not look?

I don't think I would look. I would want too, yet I know in my gut at the end I would not. I need to gauge and assess my progress as I go, thats how I look at who at the moment and where I might end up going, If I seen great accomplishments for my later years, 5 years ahead , It might take away everything that I fought hard for in order to get there. Not sure if that makes sense.

I would definitely look, I was that kid that peeked at my own Christmas gifts that is when I could get away with it and not get busted for it :lol:
Also, I like to see the fruits of my labor!

God put me on earth to do my job , not to waiting for my dead . We are here to produce something to this world , you only have to discover what is your gift and fight for him every day. This is the only way you can live happy.
I know my job here is to show the world my story and motivate them to achieve their goals. Im not just a fanatic bodybuilder but mostly a motivator.
Thats way i always believe i can improve every day.

I would probably look. I know deep down it probably wouldn't do me any good but curiosity would eat me alive.
The concern I would have is that my physique 5 years from now would not be very impressive and knowing that would hinder my current motivation. I know I don't have superior genetics. Naturally, without AAS I have a slim, athletic build but genetically I'm tall and lanky and will never achieve that thick/dense look that the shorter guys can achieve. My biceps are long, but not peaky; my forearms are long and thin to the point where they're slightly disproportional to my upper arms and rest of body; my legs are just a joke despite me working very hard on them. They are muscular but by no means thick.
So anyways enough insulting myself lol. I still look way better than 99% of the people around me at any given time. But if I knew that my potential was limited by my genetics and in 5 years I would not be impressed with my physique that would seriously mess with my motivation and my entire outlook on my lifestyle. I'd rather not risk it but knowing me the curiosity would take over and I would look. Who knows it could be a picture of me winning my first show...
