I walk slowly, but I never walk backward

Every decision we make and every step we take portrays a big role in our life, in fact, has consequences or "after-effect" towards the person making the decision as well as the others involved. These consequences might be immediate or long-lasting. It can be positive, negative or a combination of both. Therefore, we shouldn't be impulsive in decision-making because the future is inevitable and we're not able to redo what has been done already. 

What I'm trying to imply is that, like the popular saying, "Think before you speak," also applies in making decisions. We have to think a thousand times before settling a move, and above all, never decide on a whim. Don't let your sudden, impulsive urge control your system without carefully planning because of a capricious inclination.

To explain further and make it clear, I'm going to first tell you a story. When I was on 8th grade, I took an MBTI test, if don't you know what is that, it's an online evaluation that identifies your personality. And unfortunately I already forgot the result I've got so I retook the test. It took me a while to be honest, since I've paid full attention on my answers and took into consideration my real character and identity in which I failed doing when I was younger. I can say that I was more honest with this one and the result satisfied me for real.

I am, by the way, a Protagonist ENFJ-T which stands for Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling and Judging. Like the INFJ personality type, the ENFJ is among the rarest of the sixteen types, comprising only about 2-3% of the population. "ENFJs have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly. ENFJ is in many ways expressive and open, but is more focused on being responsive and supportive of others. The ENFJ is warm, engaging, charismatic, persuasive, and talkative," revealed by Personality page.

Anyway, enough with unnecessary trivia. One item on the exam made me realize a thing. Although, I am really sensitive--in different ways--such as being quick and delicate to appreciate others' feelings, empathetic to be exact, gets easily upset and cries even in the smallest source of sorrow, I rarely dwell on my failures.

I am slow when it comes to making a decision, I think about the options and turn them over my mind a million times, play out possible scenarios... but that doesn't mean that everything will turn out well, according to my desires and what I've expected. It failed? Just go with your heart, stop fretting about the past and keep moving forward even if it is small steps. Because these small steps help in gaining momentum over a period.

In time, things will go well. Maybe they turned out poorly, but what's important are the things they brought--the experience you earned, the memories you obtained, and the lessons you gained that will help you carry on. You are fortunate to have the courage because indecision steals many years from people who wind up wishing they'd just had the courage to leap. It's okay to walk slowly as long as your moving. You'll get into your destination, someday.
