The Right Way Out

A day of partial R&R at home made me realize that sometimes, the quickest way out of things is actually to slow down so you could think things over...

True enough, urgent thrills call for spontaneity; but some decisions just really demand religious planning...

Rushing things compel us to make hasty decisions. And in doing so, we may find ourselves exhausted and trapped in a loop of trials-and-errors. Rushing things may lead us to a maze that would further thwart us from thinking straight.

Shaken by cruel deadlines and ultimatums... binded by stringent timelines... pressured by persistent people... we just exhale "come-what-may" conclusions and merely rely on sheer luck to bless us with favorable outcomes. But really... how sound are these decisions?

Our confidence in our actions depends on our confidence in our decisions. Each time we rush things, we jeopardize our chances to get out of that paranoid "did-I-make-the-right-decision" state.

So slow down... pull over if you have to... clear your minds... and allow the thoughts to flow freely in your mind... soon, you'll find the right way out.
