Long term thinking is STUPID! Why would you want to think long term, I mean by that time your life will be perfect, and you'll have everything that your heart could ever want.
You may not have what you want right now, But later down the road, you will. There is always tomorrow, And at some point, you'll win that lottery!

Patience Is Often Rewarded

When you are patient, you get what you want. So you don't have to think long term. All those Go-getters won't get what they want Because they aren't waiting. They are impatient by taking things into their own hands, and they are trying to get what they want from life.
You are more likely to get what you want because you are patient.

You May Not Be Alive Tomorrow

Life is short, Assuming that you'll be around tomorrow is bad thinking, So many people spend their whole lives planning for the future, But what if there is no future? All those sacrifices and things you didn't buy and do are lost forever. You'll never have the opportunity to do those things, and you weren't able to take advantage of the hard work that you did.

Short Term thinking is Just Easier!

When you think the only long term, Things get more complicated. You have no idea whats going to happen and when. Choices are easier when you only think of how you feel RIGHT now at this moment. Don't worry about your future self! Just focus on you now.

This is a joke! If you didn't catch it already, Do the opposite lol.

I just want get out of this day by day rat race that we are all apart off and I also want to live life the way its meant to be lived,by my own terms. I don't believe in that short term and long term nonsense, I believe you should set a goal and do what needs to be done to accomplish that goal. Just focus on your goal and move towards it but live your life!! and don't waste any of it. It isn't your job to worry about the future, let god take care of that!! It also does not matter how much money you make in the end because when die you not taking any of that with you.....

You cant think just one sided...if you build for the long term, then you might not live to find out what happens(as you said in the post) but if you think short term...you'll have nothing to live on, look forward to etc.... You got me with this post btw... I was going to completely rant about it...but kept reading :D

A wise person has a long term (lifetime) aim. Anything that moves him/her towards that aim is "good". Anything that deviates from the path of attaining that aim is "bad". This makes decision making easy. It is the extraordinary freedom of "having no choice".

There is something to be said for a nice chunk of short-term thinking. From experience it's about balance. I spent so much time thinking about the long-term, like 90% of the time that I basically missed out on living my live in the actual moment.. Now I look for the long-term while still enjoying the heck out of the now.

I love the new shirts :)

I totally agree to your view of short term planning being better than longterm. I mean in case you always think about your future, do you actually still live in the present? Are you still enjoying life or do you just wander

Exactly! You need to do a mix of both :)

I can do nothing else than to agree 😊 I really like all your Posts @kaylinart. Go on with it 😉

I believe in "live in the now" but "plan for the future" you have to plan for the future just in case you do live! lol Otherwise you'll always be working and wont be able to take care of yourself as you get older. There are certain things you need need to save for and plan for that will come later in life.

Everyone agrees it's important to live in the moment, but the problem is how. Overriding the distraction reflex and awakening to the present takes intentionality and practice. One solution to this problem is, believe and trust in "GOD" for the good things to come.

So true! It' can be hard to decide how much to live in the moment and how little.

Just left a wedding.....the longterm decision most people screw up

Nice one again. you are always on point. it is good to be patient . they said that the '' patient dog eat the fates born'' But some times the dog will die before the born will come. It is always very difficult to be patient, we all want our need to take place now now. you are right, it is better for us to live our life as if there is no tomorrow . enjoy yourself, do what you love doing and allow tomorrow to take care of its self. good job as usual. keep it coming.
