I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that I’ve gone against my instincts and then reflected. At many times, I’ve made what I thought was the right decision, but afterwards I see clearer the elements my decisions were based on. I realize then, although I may still agree with my decision, I might have actioned it differently.

Thinking about how a short-term or quick decision affects the rest of the issue at hand, long-term, is something I’m going to do more of.
