Impulse.

You’ve seen him/her before.
And every time you do so you want to know him/her – to want more.
To make him/her part of your life.
But this can be frightening – making that first move.

So what do we do?

We have an in-built facility to override our normal behavior, our restraint, and just go for it.

When we do so, we can head for a beautiful life, or total disaster.

Maybe this is why we need to be hard-wired this way.

Otherwise we’d never do anything.

To be impulsive is to have a sudden urge and follow it.

Most changes in our life come from doing it.

And as indicated, this can be good, or it can be very bad. The result is, quite literally, in the lap of the gods.

Actually, this topic is very simple. i am impulsive. i am aware of that. however, there is something in me, now, that allows me to be more careful when it comes to being impulsive. i would often find myself in a difficult situation when i act out of impulse.

what i mean here is in impulse, we're clouded by everything and anything under the sun. thus, our actions would tend to throw out or to take in EVERYTHING and ANYTHING under the sun. it's like the saying "throwing the baby with the bathwater." we easily conclude and thus, act based on this conclusion. we should be wary about this and try to avoid being impulsive as much as possible.

because in the end, impulsive behaviors have a tendency to be dangerous and hurting not only to oneself but most especially, to other people.

We don't want that, do we?
