Short term tactical thinking is the part of your brain that says I should just finance this, this new car or this new watcher. Short short term thinking encourages you to make short-term emotional decisions that hurt you in the long run. Instead, think strategic, think long term, act strategic, take action that improves your long term position and moves you toward your long term goals. You are your own leader. Give yourself the mission and explain the why behind those goals. Read it before you go to bed. Read it every day until it is embedded in your brain. Consciously and subconsciously.
