Consequences aren’t only bills. Good choices pay out too. They just take longer.

Consequence has a negative sound to it and the mechanism works both ways. Bad choices present their bill fairly promptly, which is why they feel like the whole of the subject. Good ones pay out too, in trust, skill, health and options, and they do it quietly and much later, which makes them easy to miss while you wait. The delay is the only real difference.

Think about something you did consistently a year or two ago and look for what it is giving you now. Expect what you are doing today to pay on a similar schedule rather than this week.
