How do you use the past and future to make decisions in the moment? Most of my life I made selfish, impulsive decisions. You could almost describe my behavior as childish. I made choices based only on what I wanted to do, and if I didn't get my way I would go into the situation with a negative attitude. Now when I make decisions, I try to imagine what my future self would have wanted to do. So now whenever I have a free moment, I choose to spend it with my family. When I am on my death bed I will not regret that I didn't play more video games or spent more time by myself, but I might regret not spending more time with my loved ones. Instead of focusing on not liking a particular activity, I tell myself that I am there to be with my family. I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to this, and as always I appreciate your feedback! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support
