Exercise foresight

Imagine it’s a year from now and you’re considering your decisions and actions. What things will you regret not doing sooner?

Today you have the opportunity to reduce or completely avoid some of those regrets. Today you can transform the potential for regret into the reality of gratitude.

You already know there are actions you’ll eventually need to take or desire to take. So it makes good sense to stop holding yourself back.

You can put time on your side and gain valuable leverage by moving ahead sooner rather than later. If you’re going to do something anyway, you might as well get the most out of your efforts.

You’ve no doubt had the experience of wishing you’d done something sooner after you finally went through with it. Make use of that experience as you look to create a more positive and fulfilling future.

Act early and decisively to bring new goodness to your world and yourself. Exercise foresight, knowing you’ll soon be thankful for your discipline and persistence in doing so.
