What's important?

Sometimes, having too much time really makes you take a good look at your life. Makes you look back on the decisions you've made, the hits you took, the things you had to put up with. I'd like to say I did the best I could but I have too many regrets. Most of the time, it's the fear of what people will think of me..and the worst thing is, I don't even know what they're thinking. Assuming the worst allows little room to take a chance because you're already paralyzed by the fear, dreaming of the worst.

Yes, there is no absolute...all things must be taken or done in moderation. You can't only be impulsive or passive or easy-going. But the duality of everything is what confuses me. Some situations require you to fight for what you want, others need you to give it time and allow things to take their course. It's all well and good to say "Go for it. You'll never know till you try" but what if by doing so, you ruin the only chance you'll ever get? Or by rushing it, you getting the timing all wrong when the perfect opportunity is coming up?

I hate it when this happens: Deciding on sth after little/no time because I want to be spontaneous and not be second-guessing everything. Then, a better opportunity or deal comes along that makes my decision look incredibly stupid...or that I failed to think it through. I understand that no one can know the future but can't I get a little peek? I just want to make sure things go well. Haha...the worse thing, I dun think I learn much from these missed opportunities. Maybe they'll teach me to be more careful...whatever. Hah!
