Thinking Things Through

Thinking Things Through

Hey, is this a good talking point today?  Me thinks it is.  Thinking Things Through is something that is VERY OFTEN glossed over [and to be brutally frank, IGNORED] by many of us.  During your school days when you would receive a tongue-lashing from your parent, did you ever Think Things Through?  I doubt it.  When you and your partner/spouse were having differences of opinions and you proceeded to do it things your way, did you ever Think Things Through?  When your entrepreneurial forays was hitting its rough patches and you were advised to re-look at things, did you ever Think Things Through?

That's the sad part.  Sometimes, we [wrongly] believe so much in ourselves.  You would even blurt out "I KNOW, RIGHT?" Yes you knew it but how cocksure are you that what you knew then was right?  Or did you just believe so much in yourself that you CAN'T go wrong?  Or was it your ego or pride that prevailed over yourself such that you did not even give a lip service to Think Things Through.  When a couple is hitting rough patches and they yell in unison, 'GO TO HELL', did they ever Think Things Through 

But to be fair, sometimes it is NOT our ego or pride that prevails over us but instead our honest and sheer desire to take and make swift decisions because situations will call for it.  And honestly, I went through those turmoils many times in the past and GUESS WHAT?  Many times I fell flat on my face, seriously.  Why?  Because in haste I wanted to finish things off in a whiff but oblivious of the fact that the risk of making ill-fated decisions just goes up significantly.  Why?  Precisely because during those times, we hardly Think Things Through 

So where's our fix?  Akin to watering and nurturing the plants and flowers, can we assiduously take care of ourselves exactly in that same fashion?  Because only then can we polish and develop and enhance our wisdom to be more learned, more thorough and just less vulnerable to committing one faux pas after another, no thanks because we must have forgotten to Think Things Through 

So, regardless how the clouds are gloomy.  Regardless if it may be like zero-visibility that denies an aircraft to land on the strip.  Despite the murky waters around your circumstance.  We just should NOT and can NOT miss out to Think Things Through because that's all that matters most in our decision-making.  And knock on wood if you end up with an ill-advised decision, the next words you would spew out of your frustrated self will be reflective of compunction, contrition, guilt, remorse and maybe an endless loop of regret all because you miss out to Think Things Through✅✅✅
