Your Mind and Emotions
You are in
Control
We all make choices. Every day we choose to control ourselves in potentially compromising situations or we do what feels good, no matter what the consequences may be. Either decision makes us happy, but only one of them makes us happy over the long haul.
Given an opportunity to accept a penny every day with the amount doubling for 30 days or $100,000 in cold, hard cash right now, which would you choose? If you’re like most people you’ll grab the $100K. It just makes sense, doesn’t it?
Does it?
Do the math. If you’d taken the doubling penny for a month you’d have $5,368,709.12 after thirty days.
Just because something feels or seems right, especially when you’re tempted, in the long run we often close the door to our own futures! Why make life harder and less pleasant for yourself and your loved ones?
