Have some consideration

Nothing takes place in a vacuum. Because of that, it’s always important to consider a whole range of factors.

When choosing your next move, be mindful of all that surrounds you. In your efforts to create desirable outcomes, take care to avoid unintended consequences.

Have ample consideration for other people. Although what you do might work well for you, don’t make it at the expense of those around you.

Be sure to also have consideration for the context. What has worked well in other times and places may not be appropriate for the current situation.

Before you act in the present, consider the future. Take care that what you’re doing now does not cascade into a multitude of problems later.

In seeking to push one thing forward, you don’t want to push a lot of other things backward. When deciding to act, exercise some consideration, so that whatever you do results in a net positive.
