Consider your life and this longer term goal. Commit to something quite some time away. Learn to think in years and decades rather than the moment, today or even this week. Think longer term and make better decisions.

Donate Your Income
When you buy something, you are donating your money to a company, its employees and its owners. Although you get something in return, that presumably you must have, your money gets transferred to the stakeholders. Make sure you are happy with that donation.
Be Additive
Make sure you contribute in a positive way, whenever you can. Don’t be the person who sucks all the energy out of the room or conversation. Make sure you are adding to the conversation or event.
Results Don’t Lie
You can sell a story, give a reason, or five, and even create an elaborate excuse. It may distract some folks, and waste both of your time, but it doesn’t change the result you had. Results don’t lie.
Life Goes On
In the moment, some things feel gigantic and overwhelming. Though, often five years later, they seem rather small or normal. Life goes on.
Dream Bigger
It’s just a dream, so why not? How huge could your dreams be? Could you do more to make them a reality? Are you willing to put the effort in to try? Dream bigger – it’s fun!
Attack Your List
Get a few small items off your list each day. And be sure to get 1-3 bigger items moved forward too.
Perseverance
Sometimes that is all you need.
Keep At It!
Finish the task at hand. You might miss your train home or your favourite tv show but stick with the task until it’s complete. Or you may never finish it. The Law of Diminishing Intent might grab hold of you and bury your dreams and disciplined ways.
Get Ahead Of Your Commitments
Get things done early. When you are ahead of the game, you will be able to excel more quickly.
