There’s a lot of skills you can develop if life.

Some are pretty specific, and not very transferable. Meaning if you learn them for a particular job, you might not be able to use them again, especially if they are for a specific machine for a specific purpose.

On the other hand, some skills are very useful, and can come in handy pretty much everywhere.

These are more like “life skills” that “job skills.”

Many of these life skills are very much preferable than job skills even to employers.

But beyond that, having a good set of life skills will, obviously, make life a lot easier.

What skills are these?

There are the obvious ones, like conversational skills, assertiveness, self confidence, a sense of humor, listening ability etc.

Then there are some skills that are related to financial matters, like understanding how credit and interest rates work.

There’s one skill, however, that can pretty much trump all of them.

Because the more you have of this particular skill, the easier the rest of those life skills be will be to learn and demonstrated.

What skill is this?

The ability to delay gratification. Or in broader terms, to look at the big picture, time wise.

Many of us are so focused on the here and how, it’s hard to see how our actions will play out a couple of days or weeks into the future.

Scientists and economists tell us that one thing that makes us human is our ability to look into the future, and plan for it.

All the other animals on Earth simply live in the present, driven by instincts.

And to an extent, many of us do that as well.

It’s certainly easy, being bombarded by all kinds of advertisements and slogans that are designed to trigger our instinctive mind, rather than our rational mind.

Luckily, we all have the ability to stop and use our conscious minds. To think about what we’re doing today, and how it will resonate far out into the future.

This will help us NOT do things we shouldn’t do, and it will give us the will to do what we know needs to be done.

It can also help us look past any social fears that exist in the present, and see them in the context of what we’re building with our lives.

Ultimately, it’s up to you. You can live on autopilot, focusing only on satisfying those ancient instincts, or you can create something more.

Create a huge dream for your life. Close your eyes and visualize it. See it way out there in the future. See how every small step you take today can either make it happen, or keep it from happening.
