A Clear Objective Surely helps

Hot 3805 views. 2015-8-21 22:12 |Individual Classification:review| different, dilemma, clothes, example, problem

I was still wandering around the dilemma I am facing now: to go or not to go?
------
I am a Libra, so I become more hesitating when making a choice. For example, here in front of me are two suitis of clothes with different styles and tastes which are all my favourites. If I have money, I will buy all of them, and that is a very easy way to solve this matter. However, if I am short of money, I will find it a very hard problem to be solved and I will take some time to make a choice. But I think the refusal to buy one will be the best result for me. 

Well, my Mr. Right said that these are just psychological effects made by myself through a long time spent in reading books concerning constellation, especially Libra, which, consequently, became a hypnosis to me and made me develop a thinking mode: I must find it hard to make a decision because I am a Libra.

Well, anyway, no matter what the reason it is, the truth was that I am lingering from this choice to the other choice and I find it hard to make a decison.

I could not make up my mind on one matter until two or three days before. I hang out with Mr. Right, and wanted to take a bus home. We waited in the bus stop, me stamping my foot impatiently and him standing by me with no worries. Very soon, a bus came which could take us home. I dragged him to rush to the bus. The bus stopped and many people are crowding on and off the bus. I became very worried because I did not want to join a busy bus. And I saw another bus approaching which followed our way too. Considering so many people on and off, I preferred the latter bus even though I did not know how many people were in the second bus. So I dragged again Mr. Right to the second bus, but I found that the latter one is much more crowded than the first one. So I decided to drag again my Mr. Right. 

But this time, he seemed a little bit annoyed and stopped me. He told me that it was not a good choice to wander around the street with so many cars and buses passing through. He muttered that I should make a choice any way and not bother to go blindly for a so-called shortcut. In fact, we could get on the first bus directly just now if I did not drag him. But I gave up even though we were the next ones to get on the bus and chose blindly the second one which was much more crowded. If I continued to drag him to the first one, not only would we be very tired running here and there but we might also fail to get on the bus because it was going to leave at that time with more people too. So there was no point in running again to the first one.

If I made up my mind to stay in the first bus, I did not bother to run around just for a better place to stand because the result was just the same: standing all the way back home in a crowded bus. And I did not bother to think so much which one was better. Besides, I could enjoy one more seconds in the cool air.  Or I could directly wait for the next bus if I thought it was stuffed with so many people then, and maybe I would discover that it became loose when some passengers got off.

Back to my lives now, I am now facing two choices or two buses, one is leaving and one is approaching. And luckily, I was not so stupid as I was in the bus case. I have made up my mind to take the first choice and let go the unknown bus which will be chased in vain. At least, I am sure I have plans and objectives for the first choice.

All you did was to choose a less crowded bus to sit comfortably with your Mr. Right, nothing wrong with that and we do that all the time. I am sure he understands and won't mind it. Nobody wants a girl who is cold and does not care about anything. Girls are normally indecisive that is why men in the family normally makes the major decisions. As for your choice of Mr. Right. glad to note that you have made the sensible choice. Good luck to you Libra girl.

It is not only about the constellation, people, especially girls are likely to expain something according to their zodiac signs, to be honest, I find many girls, more or less, have such a issue as they facing the chance to choose a style of cloth in the shop.
Do not worry about that too much, what you just need is to make the decision, as long as you like it. Whatever the cloth-choosing or the bus-waiting, you just have one decision which is enough for you.
And what is more, your Mr Right has a good patience to accompany you well.

No one feels easy when coming to decision making, no matter if you are a man or woman.

You decided to go with the first bus because it was originally planned and you can see it inside there was still enough room for you to ride on comfortably. It is not worth to wait there for other approaching bus with unknown conditions.

I believe this is a good way of thinking. It is logical and makes sense. However there is one important factor hasn’t been mentioned is that the time was limited for making a decision.

I am wondering if the second or third bus over takes your bus and you see them in better conditions. Will you regret and cry for it?

Hi, yes, it truly is, and I hate to make a decision. But strange enough, I find it hard to accept the choice I chose. For example, there are two choices A and B. If I choose A, I find it hard to get my budget and may lead a tough life. And if I choose B, I find it hard to fulfill myself and I have to go on with the constant condition. So it is very controversial if I just choose A or B and everybody has his opinion.
But the truth is that if I just choose A, maybe toughness only lasts for a short time and there are still many ways for me to go. But if I just choose B, I think I will get stuck in that and shall never achieve myself and do something I want to do.
And the very truth that you mentioned is that my Mr Right is here for me.
Thank you very much for your comfort and your kind words are truly helpful.

In fact, I want to explain that there were many buses at that time but all of them were full of passengers at the so-called peak time. And maybe most of them lacked seats for many passengers and people rushed to get on the bus because they were afraid that they could not catch it. So was I. But my Mr Right was not.
But considering the situation where we wait for a bus in a non-peak time, how will we choose or I should say how will I choose? That is an interesting question worth probing in depth. If I am in a hurry, of course I will get on the bus no matter how crowded the bus is with a negative mood. And if I am not in a hurry, I will consider which bus to take and spend more time in weighing.
Turn to the case of my life choices A and B, A is already there and B is approaching with unsure words of my boss who gave me hopes and then disappointments again and again, I think I should choose A. Besides, I have planned for A and A is customized for me. I don't know whether I will lead a better life or not, maybe it will make me a tougher life (it sounds a little bit childlike), I still prefer choice A.

What a hard choice you are going to make, anyway, this is the life we meet and supposed to be the best gift we will test it if is good or not later which we can call it as experience.

Please don’t be too serious about it. I was just amusing in the last paragraph of my comment. It was a joke.
Reply Scarlett_Lin 2015-8-24 18:33
Yes, I understand. But I think that is truly an interesting suppose. No, not serious, I am just too controversial and I love to think critically. And it is my turn to ask you, if it were you, would you feel regretful if you do a wrong decision? I think I will say "if I should have known earlier" but will feel no regrets.

I regret it if I did it wrong, even I knew I would accept my wrong decision eventually.
