Don’t leave it

Posted on by philipdodson

If you instinctively know that what you want to say is the right thing to say, then you are more than likely to be correct in your thinking.

But then the mind takes over, we over think, we lose our courage and we end up not saying it. Then we fester about that and beat ourselves up for not being brave enough to say what we really feel.

Then when it gets to us, we usually then end up saying what we could have done in the first place, but it comes out with all the anger and frustration that we’ve built up with ourselves.

Just say it and say it straight-away, don’t leave it, it never gets better with time.

Snappy

Sometimes we have to rumble with things and mull them over before making a decision.

There is a pressure often to make snappy decisions and not over-think and that is true, but paradoxically, there are times when contemplation and a real deep think have value.

Impulse is good, but not everything in life can be fast and when it is decisions that really matter, there is no harm in going for a walk and thinking, or sleeping on it before reacting.

Most things in life are a blend yet often we want it to be a quick fix instant answer for everything.

Take time when it’s needed, after all, it’s our life and our choices.
