Will This Matter a Year From Now

Will This Matter a Year From Now

 “Ask yourself this question. Will this matter a

year from now.”

Dr. Richard Carlson 1961 – 2006 American Author,

Psychotherapist and Motivational Speaker

 

 

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Will this matter a year from now

 

You will be called on every day to make decisions . . . . some with far more importance in your life than others.

 

Keep your decisions in prospective by their order of importance in making them. Focus your decisions on your priorities . . . . and the decisions that will have the biggest impact on your business and career.

 

When you make a decision . . . . ask yourself “will this matter a year from now” When the answer is no . . . . it’s a low priority decision. The next question is why are you spending your time on this.

 

Make your high priority decision as quickly as you can. On your low priority decisions determine what you have to . . . . do it . . . . and move on.

 

By asking “will this matter a year from now.” You will take control of your decision making process.

Thinking about how a decision will effect you later on is very important. Great tip for success, Lou!

I think about decisions I made 40 years ago that mattered so everyone should extend the timeline beyond one year in my opinion.

Hi Lou- so many decisions come upon us every day...some small, and some pretty large but asking yourself this question could help in the decision making.

Hello Lou,  You are right about some decisions.  Last year I made some major decision that effective this year.

Good evening Lou Ludwig ,

We are bombarded with decisions every day. We often need to put things in perspective! A good way is to ask ourselves if it will matter a year from now. We might get the answer to our question!

This is a good way to keep life in perspective. In many situations, we won't even REMEMBER it a year from now!

That's a great way to put it, Lou. We get all over-excited about things and forget to ask just how important they will be down the line.

Seems like modern society is all about the "NOW" and the melodrama, Lou Ludwig.  Your message help us keep our sanity and avoid the stress of all that.  Thank you,

Lou,

 I like this outlook on life but also should be put into the actions of the day!
