As we grow more mature in life we should see that there is a balance to life and behavior.
Today we hear the young quarterback is an “in the moment ” kind of guy.
Phil Jackson encouraged his players to be ” in the moment” as they were playing.
In business, when you are in front of a client….yes, absolutely be in the moment.
If you are wiring a house with electrical outlets…you better be in the moment.
If you are on a date, not married, and the intimacy is rising….being in the moment…. Not considering the consequences of behavior and bad choices…can bring results you might not desire.
Being a leader with influence, and acting inappropriately… Because you are in the moment reveals a lack of maturity and wisdom.
Being so “In the moment ”
You neglect the consequences…
Is not balanced.
Be balanced.

Be aware that being
” in the moment” might generate momentum
toward consequences
that can alter life.

Balance. Perspective.Context.

Be wise.
