Rushing Love Never Works

Let’s be honest, in your professional lives, nine times out of ten those important jobs that really need doing, turn out better if done tomorrow. Doing them in a hurry won’t help anyone. Isn’t it then funny how, in our private lives those important lessons seem to fly right out of the window.

For some women in a relationship; waiting for those special moments in life become impossible. The same girls who would calmly pass those pressing papars aside at work strangely spend their evenings frantically attempting to piece their private lives together as quickly as possible. And I’m not just talking about men… I’m talking life long dreams. The world moves fast but they want to move faster.

Take my good friend for instance. Last month she twitted on Twitter that after being with her boyfriend of three months, she was moving to Australia to live with him as his Visa had expired. She would complete her first year at Uni and then follow her dreams of seeing the world and become an Australian waitress in a bar, just like on Neighbours. Without a care in the world she set off for the out-back leaving behind her family and friends for a life with a man she hardly knows.

I know this is an extreme situation but it happens to so many people. A girl that would only stress about an essay the night before it was due in was racing to plan the rest of her life in a foreign country, half way around the world. Work could wait, but love, had to happen right now!

So I asked myself the question, what happens if you migrate for a man, rushing to sort out your private life, running to catch up with the world moving so fast; only to find out the life you moved for isn’t as important as you thought it was? How many times have you stressed all night about a project only to find if you sleep on it and take your time it vanishes with a stamp saying COMPLETE before you know it?

What some girls need to do is take their time with their private life and approach it like that dreaded report. Because big decisions, like big assignments, need time and energy and most importantly a clear head. Next time you find yourself rushing to make yourself that little bit happier in your relationships, stop and think, maybe taking that extra minute will be enough to help. Life may be short, but everything doesn’t have to happen today. Who knows it may work out so much better if it waits until tomorrow.
