Foresight
What is Foresight?
The capacity to anticipate the long-term consequences of current decisions. People with foresight make fewer regrettable choices — because they have already imagined where each path leads.
When you might feel foresight
Foresight is a specific form of prudence, which itself is a type of temperance. You might experience this feeling in situations where temperance is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define foresight.
