TO THE POINT

Biologically speaking, two people (our parents) made us into who we are today. Step back one generation and 4 people, our grandparents, had their biological say in the matter. Go back seven generations and 128 of our ancestors got in the funnel that became the present you and me. 

Now let's go the other way. Hypothetically, if we have two children and those two have two children, etcetera, we quickly result in another human triangle, this one fanning out into the hopefully-distant future. 

Put the two triangle points together and what do we have? The you or me that exists at this very moment relative (pun intended) to our entire past and future--and I’m still speaking biologically! 

But there’s more.

In a similar way, the choices (good and bad) that you and I have made in our past bring us down to the precise point of who we are today, right? By the same token, the choices that we will make today will inevitably shape each of us into our future selves--and how many others will be shaped by them along the way?                   

My point is this.

Even the seemingly insignificant decisions we make here and now CANNOT NOT have a lasting causal effect upon our future as well as present lives. And what about the lives of all those with whom we share this planet? So let’s commit ourselves to doing our very best thinking. And let’s remember, no decision is too small to shape the future.

It’ll make all the difference in the world.


TODAY.

LET’S GIVE THE WORLD & OURSELVES A GIFT.

LET’S  THINK ABOUT HOW TODAY'S THINKING SHAPES THE FUTURE.
