You are no longer hunting...

Recently, at a social gathering of a business group, a friend of mine felt rather bored and use less apart from the musical aspect, which was quite interesting to listen and observe as people who weren't qualified singers, took to stage. It was fun and kind of made him feel better at the end of the evening.

A senior professional acquaintance of ours made a statement to that friend stating that "You are no longer hunting..." and that would be the primary cause for him to feel bored and monotonous. May be he is right. My friend keeps talking about his new found love and he gets lost describing her and everything, it seems goes back to her in reference. So he is too preoccupied in her thoughts, causing him to ignore what's around him, which is a good sign. It speaks of the strength of the relationship he is in.

Life is all about making choices as the blog title says and it's again true in this respect as well. Its a choice you make to hunt or not to hunt. You decide how exactly you want to believe in the relationship. Some feel that they are committed in a relationship, yet they can do things, which they would have done if they weren't committed. This typically happens when good friends end up in a relationship. They are treated still as friends and taking the relationship to the next level doesn't change the behavior. Its true that they are no longer in the hunt, but how about a little tease, that's acceptable. Is it? Ask the person you are in relationship with, then you would know if that is.

We often forget that hunting can be dangerous if you loose your guard, so have your guards set when you go hunting...

Deciding in haste...

One of the many mistakes we often make is taking decisions in haste. Situations do come up when we have to take decisions at the heat of the moment, but we should delay it whenever it's feasible to do so. People fail to understand the magnitude of the decision they make at the point of making them, specially when it's done in haste.

When we are upset, excited, tensed that is not thinking with a cool head, we often tend to overlook a few possibilities, a few options and few point of views which would have normally come under consideration otherwise. We forget to analyze the situation and take decision based on a narrow or incomplete frame of mind causing a miss to the rest of the aspect. We just focus on our point of view and try to push it further than we should ideally do.

The best way to deal with such a situation is let the moment pass. Sleep over it, delay taking th decision. This will enable us to calm down, open our minds and thoughts to alternatives, possibilities and options which we would have ignored otherwise. It would give us a clear and balanced outlook to the situation and help us deal with it better. We can then decide the step we need to take when we have considered most if not all the relevant or significant parameters.

To sum up, hasty decisions often cost us more that we can imagine, we just loose more in terms of everything including our image and respect among others. So we need to compose ourselves in such hard situations which are absolutely tempting to react and outburst & handle the situation in a better fashion. That would help us deal with things in a matured and apt manner.
