Titanic-do you know what made this ship unique and why it hit the iceberg? 🚢🧊 The Titanic was unique because it was huge, and if you needed to turn it, it took several kilometers. That’s why it hit the iceberg, even though the captain knew about it long before. 🛑👨‍✈️

In a way, that’s what my life looks like, as well as life in corporations or the state. You deal with things that will happen far in the future, but right now, they don’t really bother you. 🕰️ I look decades ahead in my life now, but I wasn’t always like this-I learned it over time. 📈

The first impulse was getting into positive development, where I learned I should have a vision. So I sketched one-not even a vision, more like a plan for the year. I wanted to be somewhere in a year, and I started working on it every day. 🗓️🛠️

To be honest, I didn’t really believe in it at first. And boom, a year later, I was in a place in life I couldn’t believe. It happened when I was thirty-five. I couldn’t believe it, but when it worked once, maybe it could work again. 🎯✨

Suddenly, I started investing-not just in stocks, but thinking more long-term, looking further ahead. If you think this is an innate trait, I have to disappoint you: looking years ahead is something you can learn. 🧠📊

My life changed a lot, the quality improved dramatically. Suddenly, I had a plan; I stopped living day to day and started living decade to decade. I was willing to wait, and I still am. I have lots of things going on in parallel, letting them mature. ⏳🌱

Let me tell you, your outlook on life changes completely. You see work, finances, even relationships differently. You view people more long-term. It’s interesting how it works in practice-imagine it like this: you order goods from e-shops that arrive in a month, but since you order regularly, something comes every week, but it’s always a month old. 📦📬

Or you start projects that take a year or two, and often things you started a year ago are now coming back to you. In our IT slang, I’d say life has a buffer. You’re always living a life where decisions from the past are catching up with you, and what you deal with today will often impact you in a year, two, or even ten. 💻🔄

It’s different. Some say you get to this with age. In my experience, most people never get there, even at seventy, while some have this vision at twenty, and some, like me, just grow into it. 👴👦

And how about you? 🤔
