Don’t Leave Crumbs

“What are crumbs? The crumbs I’m talking about are the choices we make that make us have to look over our shoulder in the future.” — Matthew McConaghuey I’m the guiltiest, so don’t take this blog as me telling you what to do. Make no mistake, this is my process of integrating this idea for myself. Crumbs are the guilt, regret, and remorse you’re causing your future self to feel because of a lack of action today. I have left many crumbs. Clients I could have served better so they’d still be paying me today. Friendships I let stagnate. Projects I didn’t give 100% effort on. Opportunities not seized. Money spent that was better saved. You leave crumbs today, and those crumbs cause you more stress tomorrow. They stop you from creating a future for yourself in which you don’t have to feel the constant hum of anxiety and looking over your shoulder. They rob you of stability because you were unwilling to do what was necessary to set yourself up for a brighter future. “Tee yourself up. Do yourself a favor. Make the choices, the purchase today that pays you back tomorrow.” Choose to step up and conquer, rather than step down and continue down the path of entropy.
