I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about choices- and how when we make them, we don’t always take the time to consider the consequences. A while back I watched a TED talk about ‘unintentional consequences’- which is what happens when we make choices without thinking about the potential long-term consequence.
It has happened throughout history with so many instances, and it continues to happen today. Have you ever thought about your own unintentional consequences based on choices you’ve made? Meaning- that you chose x- and while it may have given you the result that you had wished for in the short term, when it came to the longer term- it started a domino effect that changed many other things, which weren’t necessarily what you would have wanted for yourself. Then again, sometimes the unintentional consequence turns out to be far greater than we ever imagined.
I’d love to hear your thoughts of those unintentional consequences in your own life.
