The Best Thing You Can Do

ByMatthew

. . . is to get really, really, really good at answering the question: what’s the best thing I can do now?

When you develop greater awareness to ask the question more often, and especially at key moments, you will make better decisions.

And when you commit to learning and growing you ask that question as a more and more experienced questioner.

When you develop greater awareness and better understanding of the effects of past decisions you will begin to transform your life.

So, what’s the best thing you can do now?

    Are you disaster-tolerant? (Do you have reserves?) This question is well-posed in Seth Godin’s blog post (here it is in its entirety): Not all disasters can be avoided.
