"Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it" (Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow)
That thing you think is really important, the one that's maybe stressing you out. We all have one, don't we? That one thing that's holding you back, or that worries you or concerns you.
Here's my question: does it really matter? As in, when you look back on this moment in a year's time, will you even care? Is it that important if you look back 12 months from now? Will you even remember the details?
So many people view things as being so important that actually don't matter. But they feel like they matter right now.
So, what is that thing? Any time I have one, I ask myself this really simple question. Does it really matter, and will I care next year?
The book: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
Take the thing that's worrying you and ask: will I care about this next year?
