Consider the
        continuum of things.  When you think of the future, do you think
        far enough ahead?  Sometimes the future seems to be the next day,
        or month, or year, but life reaches ever onward and outward. 
        Consider then your life from a long range perspective.  It is a
        difficult thing to do, but planning, thinking, and considering the
      
      
        alternatives
        can help steer you to making the right choices.
