Long term thinking is STUPID! Why would you want to think long term, I mean by that time your life will be perfect, and you'll have everything that your heart could ever want.
You may not have what you want right now, But later down the road, you will. There is always tomorrow, And at some point, you'll win that lottery!
Patience Is Often Rewarded
When you are patient, you get what you want. So you don't have to think long term. All those Go-getters won't get what they want Because they aren't waiting. They are impatient by taking things into their own hands, and they are trying to get what they want from life.
You are more likely to get what you want because you are patient.
You May Not Be Alive Tomorrow
Life is short, Assuming that you'll be around tomorrow is bad thinking, So many people spend their whole lives planning for the future, But what if there is no future? All those sacrifices and things you didn't buy and do are lost forever. You'll never have the opportunity to do those things, and you weren't able to take advantage of the hard work that you did.
Short Term thinking is Just Easier!
When you think the only long term, Things get more complicated. You have no idea whats going to happen and when. Choices are easier when you only think of how you feel RIGHT now at this moment. Don't worry about your future self! Just focus on you now.
This is a joke! If you didn't catch it already, Do the opposite lol.
I just want get out of this day by day rat race that we are all apart off and I also want to live life the way its meant to be lived,by my own terms. I don't believe in that short term and long term nonsense, I believe you should set a goal and do what needs to be done to accomplish that goal. Just focus on your goal and move towards it but live your life!! and don't waste any of it. It isn't your job to worry about the future, let god take care of that!! It also does not matter how much money you make in the end because when die you not taking any of that with you.....

You cant think just one sided...if you build for the long term, then you might not live to find out what happens(as you said in the post) but if you think short term...you'll have nothing to live on, look forward to etc.... You got me with this post btw... I was going to completely rant about it...but kept reading :D

A wise person has a long term (lifetime) aim. Anything that moves him/her towards that aim is "good". Anything that deviates from the path of attaining that aim is "bad". This makes decision making easy. It is the extraordinary freedom of "having no choice".

There is something to be said for a nice chunk of short-term thinking. From experience it's about balance. I spent so much time thinking about the long-term, like 90% of the time that I basically missed out on living my live in the actual moment.. Now I look for the long-term while still enjoying the heck out of the now.

I totally agree to your view of short term planning being better than longterm. I mean in case you always think about your future, do you actually still live in the present? Are you still enjoying life or do you just wander

I believe in "live in the now" but "plan for the future" you have to plan for the future just in case you do live! lol Otherwise you'll always be working and wont be able to take care of yourself as you get older. There are certain things you need need to save for and plan for that will come later in life.

Everyone agrees it's important to live in the moment, but the problem is how. Overriding the distraction reflex and awakening to the present takes intentionality and practice. One solution to this problem is, believe and trust in "GOD" for the good things to come.

Nice one again. you are always on point. it is good to be patient . they said that the '' patient dog eat the fates born'' But some times the dog will die before the born will come. It is always very difficult to be patient, we all want our need to take place now now. you are right, it is better for us to live our life as if there is no tomorrow . enjoy yourself, do what you love doing and allow tomorrow to take care of its self. good job as usual. keep it coming.

I think it's not totally a joke. It's meaningful for me. Sometimes I only look forward the future and don't care about now, this moment. Always afraid of the future. Saving a lot of money for investing and keep spending little money every day. I think I should take the balance. Buy some little things for reward myself.

Kidding aside, there definitely IS value in "being present," so you can be truly aware of what it is you're planning for, in the long term.

This may be a joke but there's some truth to it :) Especially the middle part about "you may not be alive tomorrow" LOL.
How often do we put (fun) things off, instead of enjoying them now?
Of course there needs to be balance :) Think ahead, but also enjoy the now :)

Having long term goals really helped me look at the bigger picture. Without looking in the far future you just live day by day. This is the way I see it. Being in the moment is of course much more important.

That made me think about Ekhart Tolle.
“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.”
