Ever wanted something so badly… only to realize later you didn’t even need it?
- That impulse buy.
- That emotional text.
- That job you thought would make you happy.
Your brain is playing tricks on you. That thing you desperately want right now? Give it 48 hours, and it might not even matter.
The 48-Hour Rule for Wants
Before buying, quitting, or reacting, pause for two days.
✅ If you still want it, go for it.
❌ If not, you just dodged a regret bullet.
Why? Because Most of Your Desires Are Lies.
🔹 What feels urgent today often feels irrelevant tomorrow.
🔹 When emotion fades, logic returns.
🔹 Most regrets come from acting too soon, not waiting too long.
💡 Master your impulses, and you master your life.
👉 Have you ever made a decision too fast and regretted it later?
