I got to wondering ..............

I got to wondering, the other day, how different my life would be, IF, I had waited 24 hours, and perhaps sought some advice, prior to making any MAJOR decisions.

I've made few RIGHT decisions, so I would have to go back 50 years, or more, to start contemplating that. In order for it to work, you would have to start at the beginning because everything after that would me altered.

My life would be entirely different now, but many lives would be affected, so I have to reason, that even ALL the mistakes, have led me to this place in life. Good or bad, I am old, have a resemblance of good health, a loving wife who has survived breast cancer, four children, all in good health and doing reasonably well. So I might have made better decisions, but the ones I have made, got me down the road to where I am today.

When I start looking back, one right after the other, bad decisions, or at least look bad now. My ADD has affected a lot of decisions, or prompted them.

I have had a tendency to make snap decisions, rather than reason things out, or seek advice ... but looking back still brings me to today, and today could be better, much better, if I had made more reasonable decisions, but in comparison to some, today ain't all bad.

Hindsight could have led to some better decision making, but we don't have the benefit of that, until its too late. My wrong decisions far outweigh my smart ones.

Wait 24 hours, seek advice or counsel, and then make your major decisions. Good advice from someone who never did.
