If your house is on fire, you need to make haste and PUT IT OUT!
If your life is on fire, haste is probably not in your best interest.
Here are three things that might help you eliminate unnecessary haste.
1. Give it time.
Setting a future “due date” can temporarily put the fire out. When you have time, you can diligently think through what is best.
2. Ask questions.
Wise counsel is invaluable when making big decisions. Beware that you don’t become an ASK-HOLE. Do not habitually ask for advice and then never use it.
3. Forget about it.
It looks like a fire but it’s actually a mirage. If you can turn and focus on something else for a while, when you turn back it might be gone. 🙂
Hasty thought produces scarcity.
Diligent thought produces abundance.
Live in abundance.
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
Proverbs 21:5 KJV
