decisions

I've always wondered what leads us to choose what we do. i guess it's all based on what will make u happy, some people base it on temporary happiness, and others base it on thier long term goals, but either way, it's what they want. what i wanna say is that if u have a long term goal and u want it more then anything else, make all your short term decisios to get u closer to that goal. even if it means not being quite as happy in the short run, but if your other goal is really that important then u should relize that if u want that goal u have to give up other things.

Take a toy when u were a kid for example, u had an allowance and ur mom said u have to save up for it if u really want it. so u start saving and when u have most of the money (but not all) u see something else hat u wanna have, and u have enough money for it, so u buy it, but u still want the other toy so u start saving again. now after a few more weeks u could have had enough money for the toy u really wanted, but now u dont, and u have another toy that in't as good.

so u see, maybe u were happy when u got ur new toy, but if u would have given up that toy for the one u really wanted u could have had it. and it's possible that u will sav up the money next time and u may have gotten ur short erm happiness and ur long term happiness, but not everything works that way... the toy may become out of stock or the price raised, and it's the same with anything else in ife, give me an example and i'll show u
