I’m sure you’ve heard of the 10 year principle to help keep things in perspective: when something bad happens, ask yourself, will this matter in 10 years?” The 10 year principle can also apply to actions we take. Are you thinking long-term before you make a decision or take an action? If not, it’s time to begin considering your “path of life” more often.
My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
listen closely to my understanding so that you may maintain discretion
and your lips safeguard knowledge.
Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey
and her words are smoother than oil,
in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood
and as sharp as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps head straight for Sheol.
She doesn’t consider the path of life;
she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.
Proverbs 5:1-6
