    How Your Choices Now Can Derail Your Future

    Have you ever had a lot of time to get something done, but chose to wait, thinking you had plenty of time? And then the thing gets done either late, or in a flurry of cursing and tears. I have become more aware of how my choices for right now are having a serious impact on my future. I want to be a published fiction author, but I don't write fiction. I want to get ahead of my blog calendar, but I choose to take a nap when I get home from work. I want to walk in the morning, but I stay up too late and skip walking altogether. None of these choices are particularly helpful, and it's made me realize that my future success is very much dependent on the choices that I am making right now.
