Long-term thinking eliminates a lot of poor behavior.
@ShaneAParrish One of the quotes I love the most, like from anyone in the world, is your: in the short term you are as good as your intensity, but in the long term, you are only as good as your consistency.
@ShaneAParrish High-time preferences lead to self-destruction. Low-time preferences lead to self-preservation. Think in terms of decades, not days. Don’t do the thing - if it doesn’t help move the needle towards your goal.
@ShaneAParrish Orient yourself towards others, towards the future, towards the highest of virtues. Kill the selfish, short-term, hedonism. Cures loneliness, poverty, illness, and misery—but is easier said than done.
@ShaneAParrish @katieburkie Long-term thinking is our mental GPS for navigating life's choices, steering us clear of the quicksand of short-term temptation. It's about crafting a legacy, not just living for the moment. #VisionOverImpulse
@ShaneAParrish If 80-year-old you will be proud of the choice, it's probably a good one.
@ShaneAParrish Long-term thinking helps us make better decisions and steer clear of short-sighted actions. It's all about setting our sights on the bigger picture and making choices that benefit us in the long run.
@ShaneAParrish Something I always try to tell myself: If it won't matter in 10 years, don't bother. I used to always have a hard time letting go of small things and being reactive. Reminding myself of this helps me be at peace.
@ShaneAParrish Think long term as early as possible to avoid short circuting your life.
