So? Opening a big can of whoop ass on an opposing football player is considered? 😂
One of the biggest lessons of my life (and the one that probably kept me alive til now) was finding out that I could pause. I didn't have to just go ahead NOW and pay the consequences later, I could consider a bit.
Not to say that I always consider. I ride a motorcycle for God's sake. But those reactions are cultured and trained. The pause and reflection comes before I really need the right decision instantly. I know you know exactly what I mean.
Yep, I know what you mean.
Stopping, slowing down, and considering doesn't mean a lack of spontaneity, or that one is boring or too structured in every circumstance. There's a time for careful consideration and a time for rapid reaction. One must know when each is appropriate though, lest one use one at a time the other is most relevant. Sometimes we rush in and that's ok, we get away with it, other times doing so brings rise to potential risk.
You know that saying, right tool for the job? It applies in this case.
I used to be an outside linebacker and did this a lot. It was always considered. I'm was like, I wonder how much pain, suffering and humiliation I can inflict upon that dude over there.
Then they swapped me over to full back, carrying the ball and I was like, I wonder how much pain, suffering and humiliation I can inflict upon that dude over there. But I had to move the ball or provide a block for the half back, who was my brother, so...A little more consideration went into the job at hand. 🤪
