Do you think about the consequences of your actions before you do something or do you just go ahead and do it and hope for the best? I am a thinker so I think first. What about you?

I do look before I leap, but sometimes my eyesight isn't as good as it should be because I make mistakes. I will put that down to my age though rather than anything else. LOL
But when we make a mistake, then we should learn from it, so I will keep on looking and thinking before leaping.

Sometimes I do look before I leap, but other times, i tend to just leap without thinking and end up getting hurt.

As a general rule I would consider the consequences and decide on the best course of action before proceeding. Impulsive behaviour can only lead to problems and life offers enough of those without me having to create more.
Despite this, there are always occasions when your anger or hurt will take precedence and I would react blindly just as most people would and think later. It is easy to behave responsibly most of the time, but impossible to cease being human and over reacting at times.

I usually do. But I often still take risky leaps, even when I know the risks. I like to shake things up. When I really want to do something and I have to take a risky “leap” I just close my eyes (figuratively speaking) and go for it. It’s scary, but I would not be where I am, or even progress in the future if I don’t take at least a few “leaps of faith”. (Please excuse the cliché).

I have never been one to think the process through, if I want something or I see something I usually just go for it! I am working on trying to think things through before I act and as I get older I am leaning toward that new concept. This is a learned behavior and I think I never learned it. hahaha!

yes i strongly agree about it, i think twice before i do some decisions, i'm afraid to fail, i see to it that i will not regret with my decisions at the end.
