I was once again shaken by the blog I read a moment ago by Mr. Fitz (Ready To Be Rich)
Think About and Plan For Your Future
It was true that this big word can often overwhelm and paralyze us. Yes we are thinking everyday but I don't know if all of us are planning for a future. In my case when I ask my self what are my goals and where I wanted to go in this life. Many things come flooding in my mind but these are uncertain plans. I was undecided if that is I really want. At first what I want is cleared but along the process it become. I loose track. Too bad right? But there still hope and I'm not loosing it.
I want to share to you the part that hits me in his blog. Hoping it will also help you out there.
Think long-term
I realized that life is full of choices, and each time we decide, we
are actually choosing between short-term happy moments, and long-term
joyful chapters in later life.
Should I buy this shoes which are on sale or should I buy that
recipe book on healthy home-cooked meals? The first choice will make me
look good in the next few months; but the second one will help me
become and stay healthy for many years.
Should I go out and watch a movie this weekend or should I stay home and
work on a business plan? The first choice will entertain me for a few hours; but the second one will help me get out of the corporate world and
quit the rat race.
Should I use this extra money to buy a new smartphone or should I
invest it in the stock market? The first choice will make me happy in
the next couple of years; but the second one will help me retire early
and live comfortably from that time until the rest of my life.
The choice is yours; and I hope you choose to think long-term most of the time.
We all need those short-term happy moments… but remember to start
and continue writing those long-term joyful chapters of your life today.
It was a few years after I started working when I realized that there really is a need to think about and plan for the future,
simply because it will certainly come.
Ask yourself, which has a greater chance of happening:
- You, reaching 30 years old; or you, dying in a freak accident during your 20s?
- You, reaching 50 years old; or you, dying from a fatal disease before that?
While the negative scenarios can certainly happen, specially if you
live life carelessly; they are however, for most people… very unlikely
to happen because
all of us are empowered with the will to live a long and fruitful life.
