Second thought ruins everything and especially first thought. What is second thought? Second thought is nothing but you are being skeptic about a situation or event where you have made your decision. Second thought is the most crucial thought because it can definitely change the outcome. Generally, we want something and the first thought is yes I should go for it and you really want it but then comes second thought which converts yes into no, you may regret this later on. Most of the times, we can’t come to a conclusion just because of second thought. Second thought occurs either when you are not confident or got influenced by others.
Why is it necessary to avoid second thought?
Sometimes people tend to overthink and give too much priority to the second thought. Thinking is important but overthinking leads to nothing, how can you reach somewhere if you don’t leave your current place? When second thought dominates the first thought, then second thought no longer remains second it becomes first thought. There are several instances where you think that I should not have followed second thought rather than stick to first thought and after some time regret will be the only option. If you are not confident about your first thought and need second thought than just take a few seconds and ask yourself these questions-
1. Why am I doing this?
2. What will be the outcome of this?
3. How this can change my decision?
4. Does it really matter?
5. What is the alternative?
