Every action or lack of action has its
consequences. Everything we do now affects out future, it’s either an
investment in a good future or an expense that might sacrifice some of our
future. So whatever we like to happen in the future, we need to adjust the
actions that we do this very moment.
I think that it’s important to concentrate on
the consequences or results of our actions rather than on the action itself.
It’s good to know what result we want and then we can choose from number of actions
that will get us the same result. We can change what we do and still get the
same results as before while the action might be much more enjoyable. Sometimes,
we create habits of doing certain actions and we forget why we actually doing
it or it might not be important to our life any more.
I believe that good consequences are the ones
that cover progress, love, health, security or respect (see Happiness). Whatever we do now that improves
any of this is a good investment towards a happy life whether it’s a little
step or big step. When we learn how to adjust our actions to get the
consequences we want, we might be able to control our future better.
I don’t believe that the end justifies the
means but I do believe that the result is more important than the choice of
action. We can get the same result doing number of different actions, that
means, we can choose an action but we can’t choose a result (see Freedom of choice).
It might seem like a big task to watch
everything we do, but I believe that most of our actions are habits so
we don’t need to keep reviewing them each time we do them. We might even get
surprised that we can pick one action that covers number of desirable
consequences rather than do one action for each consequence.
