Controlling Excitement: Key To Choosing Right

Managing and controlling our excitement at some point might be kind of hard especially if we achieve or about to achieve whatever we have been hoping on. A lot of things and accomplishment might get us so excited that we end making promises or decisions that we might in the future regret.

Firstly, when you want to purchase something, learn to control your excitement else you will end up spending more than your budget. A clear example is when I wanted to buy my first bicycle, I had a budget of #40,000 naira which is about 97 hive to spend with the assembling but when I get there, I was too excited to the point I never got hold of myself, I couldn't even bargain the price.

With the excitement, I spent #65,000 naira which is 157 worth of hive. This is because I allowed my emotions to control that I lost control of my bargaining option, I had to spend extra #15,000 naira. Now, let's imagine if I had bargained the price, I would've saved the huge sum.

Secondly, learn to manage your excitement when you are being offered a job. Countless times,I have been hearing stories of people who got so excited after being offered a job mention salary below their qualifications and will most time regret it in the future.

Some of the staffs being under paid today started right from their interview day where they got so excited and appreciated the interview too much that the forgot about their own payment And the main reason they looked for a job hence they get under paid because their excitement left them without a choice.

Also, when you about to invest, do not let excitement make you invest in projects you'll regret tomorrow. The current trend is people being so excited to invest in crypto with the believe an mindset to become millionaires and billionaires overnight.

We have seen how bad these things turn out to be. When it doesn't come the way they expected it, their excitement level tends to drop when things go south. This is why we shouldn't let our emotions becloud our sense of investment because if it does, that might probably be the beginning of our failure in life or that field.

Being excited is not a crime on it own, infact to be excited in life is really necessary especially when we get to see our little wins but we shouldn't let it overshadow the decisions we want to make against tomorrow. Excitement can hinder us from tomorrow's glory.
