Poor Decisions Quotes

Be a balanced optimist.
Nobody is suggesting that you become an oblivious Pollyanna,
pretending that nothing bad can or ever will happen.
Doing so can lead to poor decisions and invites people to take advantage of you.
Instead,
be a rational optimist who takes the good with the bad,
in hopes of the good ultimately outweighing the bad,
and with the understanding that being pessimistic about everything accomplishes nothing.
Prepare for the worst but hope for the best - the former makes you sensible,
and the latter makes you an optimist.

To worry is to acknowledge that the world is unpredictable, and there is power in understanding one's own powerlessness at times. But too often worry takes on life of its own. Men are quite prone to this. They'll plague themselves with so many 'what if's and 'if only's that they soon forget to ponder the true possibilities before them. Which inevitably lead to poor decisions. Whatever happens will happen. Sometimes we have say over the future. Sometimes we don't. Either way, worrying alone never accomplishes anything.
