Simplified Meaning:

If you want to be a certain kind of person in the future, start acting like that person today. Imagine you want to be a great soccer player. You can't wait until you're playing in a big match to start practicing; you need to train and work hard every day, even if no one is watching. This idea can apply to any goal or dream. If you want to be kind, start doing kind things now. If you want to be successful, start working hard and making smart choices now. By adopting the habits and behaviors of the person you want to become, you'll more likely achieve your goals in the future.
