Many mistakes that I've made in my life stemmed from temporary reactions to situations.
That is, I've made too many important decisions based on anger or fear - both temporary emotions that pass with time. I see many people do similar things: words are said, people are hurt; all based on temporary emotions.
One of my biggest faults, however, is my tendency to swing from emotional highs and lows within a matter of minutes, and then assuming that my life is changing based on those ups and downs. This may sound similar to bi-polar disorder; I'm certainly not classified as bi-polar, but you can make your own assumptions I suppose. Point in case: I have a bad tendency to speak my mind when my mind is in the worst-of-states, and I think the key to me getting over many of my own trust issues is to not makes decisions on a whim... but instead to think out all of my actions and consider that in ten minutes' time, I might be a whole different person.
