I like this piece very much. I used to read Alex’s site every day, but for the past three weeks or so various browsers I’ve used are all asking for username/password. This never used to happen. What can I do to read thenext45years.com? Thanks

I’m glad neediness is listed because it can really lead us to regret. Neediness opens the door for someone else to take control and manipulate our thinking – then we’re living their decision not ours. Good stuff Alex!

Yes…we tend to make poor decisions when we are emotional. As you correctly pointed out, it is best to be free of them, for better clarity. I’m also trying to develop more of my intuition as I believe that much of the answers are there but lie untapped.

Brilliant to have you back Alex!

Excellent post and the prom story is amazing. I can understand exactly why that would work.

BTW, if you haven’t, I’d really recommend a brilliant book called ‘Stumbling on Happiness’ by Daniel Gilbert. He looks at why often we make poor long term decisions. It’s a fascinating and very funny book reminiscent of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

The Vision is for me the most important part. If you have a vision, or to a lesser degree, if you have defined objectives, these will condition (even if subconsciously) your decision making.
