Hindsight

Today, we will put our many hindsights to good use.

The first lesson is not to take life for granted or your lifestyle for granted. The life paths of the past have different importance than they once did. Family, education, work-life balance, relationships, money, homeownership, transportation, and food are all being re-imagined.  It is hard to let go of what has given us great success, acknowledging that the system was not perfect, yet this system did create the most advanced human civilization to date.

How can we improve? How do we learn from the past? How do we use hindsight to our advantage?

That, indeed, is the question.

For me, I realize now, more than ever, that there is only today. That I must live today to its absolute fullest. Today, I need to make sure that the people I love know that I love them. Today, I need to put on my thinking cap and inspire my team. Today, I have to nourish my body. Today, I have to have moments of reflection. Today, I must find joy. Today, I have to live in a manner that if I can no longer have hindsight…that I won’t regret it.

Hindsight is only good when you are still able to do something about things.
