Going Into A Relationship - How Ready Are You?
Nowadays, the question is not about how ready you are. As long as it arrives on schedule, you sometimes cram and eventually come up with a half-baked outcome. Sadly, this scenario can also be seen in relationships. In all the relationships that you have engaged yourself in, have you asked yourself "how ready am I for this relationship"? Probably, a lot of friends and acquaintances may probably corner you and push you into getting a decision regarding your love life as soon as possible. They may have been unintentionally forcing you to decide quickly on things that need ample time for reflection such as entering a relationship. Ponder. Ask yourself. You are the only one who has the right to decide and determine when the right time is to enter a relationship.
It is your privilege and not your friends', office mates', nor even your boss'. Everything has its own chance to ripen and mature. Give yourself a chance to take a breather. Having a new relationship immediately after another would not be the best idea of coping. Remember that your emotions and relationships are far different from the paper works and projects that you can just rush and cram to avoid your boss' reprimanding. Keep in mind that whatever happens to that relationship will reflect how you have handled and prepared for it, so don't take any chances by rushing into things.
You still have many things to learn and many things to prepare for. Learn the virtue of patience. Having more time to prepare and self-pondering will have a better chance of a more stable relationship. In movies for example, the duration of the preparation for a high-budget movie may be as long as up to a year, but the revenues and awards that it acquires are priceless and very rewarding. Paper works and daily reports come and go, it can be redone and edited, but a failed relationship is not, so plan, reflect and weigh things carefully.
In this game of life, remember that you have the power to determine your readiness for a relationship. You have the choice to say "yes", "no" or "maybe". Keep in mind that the more unprepared you are in entering a relationship, the higher the chance of a negative outcome. So relax, and plan things carefully. There is no need to rush things that involve emotions. Wait and learn about him/her before actually giving in to a commitment. After all, whatever your choices may be, you will be the one to face the positive or negative outcome of it.
