Then forethought. When you make your choices with forethought, sound judgment, and your values firmly in mind, you become the master of your own future and your own time, rather than a passenger in someone else's plan. Think the consequences through before you act, the good and the bad alike — and never dismiss the small inputs, because, as Bruce Barton said, when you consider what enormous consequences flow from little things, you begin to suspect there are no little things at all. Prepare in advance, because the one who readies himself before the storm is the one who has what he needs when it comes. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
