Diva Living Today

It’s not unusual for anyone to make a mistake.  Sometimes we simply make poor decisions and those decisions have the potential to create lots of problems in our life.  What is worse than making a bad decision is allowing someone else to make it for you.  I honestly would rather make my own mistakes, than live with the outcome of someone else’s.  Perhaps silly, but I relish in the idea that if something is going wrong in my life, it’s my error and I am certainly invested in fixing it. 

First of all, we should/must make every effort to avoid mistakes in judgement, especially the ones that can be devastating to us or our loved ones.  We can’t control everything and sometimes no matter how hard you try, stuff happens.  However, it is definitely worth it to make an effort to get information prior to.  It is absolutely imperative that we do our due diligence, when and where possible. The more information we can gather prior to making a decision, the better our chances of making a good decision will be.  Don’t get pressured into making rash decision.  Take your time and process the information.  Ask your questions and get the answers you need to make an informed choice.  Whatever it is, if it is for you, it will still be for you when you finish thinking.

I’m not saying you should take a year to decide whether you want to purchase a particular house or not.  Yep, it will be sold to someone else.  I am saying if you met someone a day ago, cool your jets with, we’re getting married.  What could you possibly know about this guy in a few days? If you are in the market for a car, don’t fall in love with the first car you see and purchase it.  It’s a good idea not to buy a car the same day – even if you love it to death.  Shop around, it might be thousands of dollars cheaper somewhere else.  Leave room for negotiation.

Diva what I know for sure is, quick decisions are rarely good ones.  Anything worth doing, is worth doing well and that applies to relationships, large purchases and anything else that will affect your life in a major way.  The old saying, “Haste makes waste” couldn’t be more accurate”.  Don’t let anyone, not even yourself force you to make quick decisions, think it through and save yourself the headache and personal aggravation of finding out you made a choice that bites.
