An imprudent state of mind can cause you to forget that many of the decisions you make today will have unavoidable long term consequences. However much you are tempted to allow your whims to be your guide, you can serve your general interests best by stopping to consider each of the options before you. As you contemplate the many avenues of action open to you today, try to envision how each will impact your existence, both in the present and in the future. What you discover today can shake your confidence, yet you will likely gain a new measure of certainty from these discoveries.
The immediate consequences of our choices are often less important than the long-term impact these decisions will have on our lives. Oftentimes, that which seems to lower our quality of life in the short term can be of great help to us as we pursue the goals that are most important to us. When we accept this, we are more apt to sacrifice a small measure of happiness or contentment so that we can enjoy a greater degree of fulfillment in the future. We should always try to envision the consequences of our choices before moving forward with any decision, as the options that appeal to us most may not actually be those that will have a lasting positive impact on our lives as a whole. Your ability to zero in on the alternatives that will benefit you for quite some time will improve today as you consider your present and your future.
