Look Before You Leap Pt 1

Is it worth it???

I sit back and ask myself this question a lot. When I'm making decisions about everything, whether it be love, academics, life, anything. The trick is, to evaluate ones true desires and wants and have the ability to decipher if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Sometimes we act upon our emotions without using our head or taking a step back to see what the situation is from the outside looking in. It would solve a lot of our "personal problems" if we took the time to think sometimes. Ya know?

I'm saying this because I feel that too many people are being mislead by their own feelings. Sometimes what you feel isn't always the best thing for you... I do realize that we must make mistakes in order to learn from them and grow, however I don't think we should be makin the same mistakes cuz at the end of the day... We're only hurting ourselves in the longrun.

Ill use the case of love for example, because it seems the most relevant to the topic. When you're courting someone, first you must understand that there is a 50/50 chance that the feelings you have for the person will be reciprocated. Until you know for sure for sure where each person stands, you should proceed with caution. Even I have fallen into this category even tho I know better... You can't control the way you feel, but you can change the way you respond to them. No matter how hard and strong your feelings get u have to realize that they're just that... Feelings. Which can change in a matter of seconds. Once ppl grasp the concept of this I think people will be ok.... What do you think???

Think b4 you act, don't act b4 you think.

  1. I think most of the time, people feel some type of way and they let that emotion run them. They don't think "well what if this isn't REALLY what i am feeling" or to slow down and see why they are feeling this certain way. When this happens, people lose the sight of the real plans they have or the real ways they should be going, and things get crazy and go wrong.

  2. I agree, feelings are like walkin a dog, they always try to run off with you but you gotta give that one firm tug to keep em in check. In regards to love, too often people let their feelings love for them and as soon as those feelings are gone love fails once again and somebody leaves scarred and scared to "love" again.
