When you choose a behaviour, you choose its future consequences.*
Derek Sivers

What a pity if we do not live this short time according to the laws of the long time.**
Henry David Thoreau

It may appear a good choice right now, but
what will it look like tomorrow, in a month, or five years?

We’re thinking about eating, interactions, language, buying, and
how we use our time.

It’s important to be present in the now, but
it also pays to be able to visit the future.

I explore both the present and the future through
my story, comprising abilities, energies, and values.^

This shift from being to doing to becoming occurs as your thoughts, actions, and feelings align with your dreams and values. And what best governs your values? The story you tell yourself about yourself.^^
