Asking myself, What will this choice look like in 30 years? is one of my daily cornerstones that helps me live well.

In 30 years, you’ll have built on habit after habit and what you have is what you will have built, and I’m not talking about tangible things like a specific size house or brand of car. I’m talking about the status of your heart.

If I want my daughter to know she is loved at all times, I’ll teach rather than scold.

If I want her to know that her creativity matters, I’ll hold my tongue when that creativity takes us on a wild, messy ride.

If I want my own heart to know that God made me on purpose and for a purpose, I’ll write my words and nobody else’s.

I want a future that holds a long line of choices that point to all of the above, and more.

I do that by constantly asking and answering that one question:

What will this choice look like in 30 years?
