The horizon is the line where the earth or sea seems to meet the sky, and it is also used figuratively to mean vision or possibility in a particular field or activity. When we add the word “time” before it, we get a theory that is applied to life planning—it is called, “Time Horizon.”
According to a study, the distinction between those who succeeded in life and those who failed rests mostly on how long their time horizon is. This in turn means that your road sign of life can change, depending on how long your time horizon is.
Those who have a long time horizon invest their time, not seeing a tree right before their eyes but a huge forest. Because they do not see a certain part but the whole, they do not obtain instant results in most cases. For this reason, they may look dull in the eyes of their contemporaries who try not to suffer a loss even a little bit and struggle not to fall behind. However, as they move forward with patience, having hope for a better future, this always brings fruitful results to them.
Then who has the longest time horizon in the world? They are the people who are looking forward to the world of eternity—the land that exists beyond human life. It is not easy to live on the earth, cherish the blueprint of the spiritual world that is invisible; but because it is the kingdom of heaven with beauty beyond description where their time horizon meets the end, they are the wisest time investors, aren’t they?
