Impulsive Behavior

Aside from the pre-meditated and the pre-determined.
There comes a time of doing things without thinking,
Without regard, without remorse, without reflection.
Instead, the act is on the here, the now,
The opportunity, the moment, the once in a lifetime.
To believe, this doesn't happen all that much.
Or there hasn't been anything like this before.
But, it is a want, a desire, an exceptional endeavor.
Some call it the best things in life.
Others call it stupidity and a waste.
Either one will suffice depending on the circumstance,
The party, the person, and the cost.
Every action has a consequence,
Every desire has a cost.
But at what cost does this become relevant and acceptable.
The act of impulse over takes us, only throwing out the rules.
Impulsive behavior, Peer Pressure.
The obligation to act, unintentionally.
Accidentally.
Is it because it is limited, being now or never.
Or is it impatience, something that makes us believe,
This one hasn't been done before.
"We are going to get it sometime, might as well be now."
Maybe it's for the surprise, not only to ourselves but to everyone else.
The best gifts in life are surprises.
Could it be for the adrenaline rush, a high, a feeling unexplained only felt.
Somewhere, deep down inside, there is a voice, screaming for freedom.
Yelling its lungs out, hoping to find some kind of peace, some kind of purpose.
A necessity, no.
An attraction, of course.
Regretful, Ask yourself the next month, the next year, the next five.
We make rash decisions because we believe it will make us happy.
We believe that purchasing an item on the spot will take away the pain.
Retail therapy.
With Power comes responsibility,
Maturity is the wisdom.
The measure of a person is not about what they have,
The measure of a person is what they could have, but don't.
They don't act on impulse.
Think before you act.
Irrational activity results in irrational productivity.
Find a purpose. Conquer priorities.
Living in regret is regretting life.
You must learn to follow before you can lead.
You must care for yourself before you can care for others.
Love comes only after you cry.
Live life, before you die.
