Decision-Making: Our Ancestral Legacy

John F. Kennedy (1917 – 1963) said, “We must use time as a tool, not a crutch.”

If you have ever regretted missing out on an opportunity, or were too late to take advantage of one you may be suffering from survival-based thinking. Timing is said to be 70% of success in business. If you make the right decision, but it is ill-timed, that is an opportunity lost. Reaching our long term goals for success takes vision, planning preparation, and discipline. In a recent article published in Psychology Today, the ability (or should we say inability?) to conceptualize and follow through on long term (more than 6 months) goals is partly determined by how much our brain has evolved over the centuries. That article kindled a spark on the topic of critical thinking and achieving our vision as professionals.
