We personalize our relation to the future by making it meaningful to us, by making it something that we can relate to and that we can care about. We don't want the future to be bleak and alien, because that would make it difficult for us to imagine ourselves in it. We would prefer the future to have good consequences, because that would make it more likely that we would be happy and fulfilled in it.
