Thought of the night...

Its funny. We could think of ten different ending to a situation we are facing, and we could still be wrong. And most of the time, we could end up looking foolish, making a mistake, or simply getting hurt. But most of all, its always good to remember that we should never expect more from ourselves than we can really give. Because if you do, you might just wind up not meeting your own expectations. Failing ourselves is always worse than failing someone else. Even if its on the simplest things. Someone once asked me, "Why is it we spend so much time thinking about doing something, rather than doing it?". Its because if we think too  much about it, we begin to doubt that we can accomplish what we're thinking about. "Wise and slow. They stumble, that run fast." Thats a quote from Romeo And Juliet. It means that we should always take our time when dealing with things. Because if you try and rush in and find a solution, you'll only make things worse or lose your chance to get what you want. there are of course, those certain situations where rushing in is exactly whats needed. But per the overall, grand scheme of things, its always better to take your time and look at everything before you assume you know how things wills go. I realize as im writing this, that i must sound like a hipocrate, because i dont think too much, i just go with the wind into anything im involed with. So i write this, not only as a lesson to any who come across this, but as a way to take a step back and look at how i handle things. I know that there are times when i should think before i act. And im gonna start doing that. But i have my own demons i have to deal with on my own time. Taking into account ones past mistakes and failures is never an easy, or short list to make. But we can do our best to make sure we dont add to that list. And if we do, then we must learn from the new mistakes we make. We are always bound to make more mistakes, because the more we grow, the more we learn, and the more situations we face, the more we are bound to not know how to handle some of them. But in the end, our expectations can either be our friend, or our worst enemy. Its up to you to choose how big you'll let your expectations become.
