<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>We all love making choices, but sometimes we forget that every single choice has a <strong>tail</strong> attached to it. That tail is the <strong>consequence</strong>.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thinking about consequences isn't about trying to be afraid or stopping yourself from living. It's about being <strong>smart</strong> and <strong>seeing the whole picture</strong> before you act. When you are rushing, angry, or just focused on the quick reward, it's easy to ignore what might happen later.</p><p><br/></p><p>For example, eating a whole tub of ice cream feels great <em>right now</em>, but the stomach ache and regret you feel an hour later are the consequences. Yelling at a friend might feel satisfying <em>in the moment</em>, but losing their trust is the long-term cost.</p><p><br/></p><p>The trick is to ask yourself one simple question before you jump: <strong>"How will I feel about this tomorrow?"</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>Remembering the consequences is a sign of maturity. It means you are choosing to be in charge of your future, not just reacting to your feelings right now. It means you are building a life you want, brick by brick, by making thoughtful choices. <strong>Never forget the consequences, because they are the building blocks of your reality</strong>.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
