Grudin, Robert states that "we take almost every opportunity to ignore, belittle, and otherwise abuse this dimension" (18). We don't think about the future, the decisions we are about to make for the future and the goals we set for ourselves. We try to ignore them because we are afraid of the path we are about to take. Three months ago, I was afraid of the path ahead. I lost contact with a certain person who is very important to me and this made me afraid to face the future and achieve my goals without that certain person in my life. But now I realize that if I don't do anything to change that mindset, I will always be afraid to face what awaits me in the future and achieve the goals I have set for myself.
