Your choices may be grounded in practical and logical sense which may make you more sensible when it comes to making life decisions today. Having a realistic outlook on life might at first seem like it could limit you, but in fact, by doing so, you can be much more centered in the here and now and focused on what you can achieve in the present – as long as you don't let your thoughts consume you. Perhaps giving yourself one or two specific goals to keep in mind for your future today and then focusing your plans on those objectives could be a way for you to approach things not only rationally but also with a sense of expectation and excitement – infusing your thoughts of the present with the idea that your common sense can lay the groundwork for an exciting future where the possibilities are endless.

The decisions we make in the present are the basis for our lives in the future. Although we can't plan for everything, since there are never any guarantees in life, it is important for us to use the gifts that we have been given in the present wisely. One way to do this is to think much more realistically about how we approach our lives – such as if we tend to spend without discrimination or we are able to conscientiously put away enough to help us reach our goals, for example. Becoming aware of your approach to life choices today will help you make sound choices that will lead you to positive rewards.
