Auguste Rodin

Before acting, take a deep, second look at your decisions exposing them to your inner court of reflection. This lets more information filter in giving more confidence for choices without much clarity. It injects time for more verification and proof. It instills more appreciation for gifts that become more valued because more well-considered. The longer anticipated, the more highly appreciated. When you have to communicate a denial, a rejection, a disapproval; more time allows emotions to dissipate, a better time and place to emerge, and more possibilities for softly saying no and arousing less bitterness. The more pressed for an answer, the more beneficial a delay.
