I've discovered that I only think very short sighted, you know only think about what is happening right now or tomorrow. I never really think about the future 5, 10, 20 years from now. I guess it is because I always hear the future is today or we are to live life to the fullest or something like that. It's all about right now, enjoying life now and not thinking if there might be any consequences to what we do now. So I've decided I need to think more about the consequences. Things like what car do I drive? Is it polluting too much? Can I get a car that does not pollute so much? am I willing to offer what it cost to get a car that does not pollute so much? If not why not? This is just one area, there are many things I do that has long lasting consequences to my family, society, country and world!

But the problem I have found is, I'm not the only one that is very short sighted. The decision makers, politicians and corporate leaders. They all seem to make decision that are base on short term benefits.
How do we change the way we see things?
How do we change our focus from our self and what I can get from it now, to what is best for others, in the broadest sense of the word.
