Anticipation: Proactive Responsibility
Waiting for the other shoe to drop is never a viable alternative. Using the full scope of our awareness to seek out and examine many of the possible consequences of our actions allows us to anticipate and avoid them.

In other cases, preventive action can allow us to anticipate — and to avoid — costly mistakes.

Certainly there can be negative consequences to choosing to spend our time in one way over another. And avoiding those negative consequences can drive our choices, but, at the end of the day, we are choosing!
