Decision’s often are commenced from the launch pad of a certain category of thinking being brought to the forefront, and fo whatever category you are choosing or putting the exclamation point on, there is going to be too much of a bias towards this category and often this can be a negative bias that tints away the view of other parts of the puzzle that might not be found in this category of emphasis. What is happening is that this highly weighted category may be impinging to much on the decision, and the decision is mostly lodged in this category to the near exclusion of other relevant categories, in that if you are using category to the maximum, these other categories are areas that are or might very well be actually operative if the decision is to be actually worked through and lived through. Take any example, say for example a guy or girl is looking for a partner that is rich, or financially well off. Assuming that will hold, and the relationship happens, the experience will be operative in other categories, such as attraction, passion, fondness, shared activities, common beliefs and so on, while the primary category looked at in the decision was wealth or more wealth, which is not a tantamount aspect of the decision if it is walked through on. But any number of other categories actually apply to the situation. People might also have a lot going for them in any number of categories, but if there is a shortfall in one of them, and an emphasis on this shortfall is a highlighted background to the decision, other categories get way overlooked on the fly by and your own possible advantageous for the potential situation get overlooked big time and you end up putting too big of a discount on attributes that are found outside of the category that seems to shade in on the decision rather often. Society itself, depending on where you are, does chastise and if you hear those footsteps too loudly, you may just follow the herd in terms of this category being the supreme one, when it might be the lesser in actual circumstances being navigated. Take for example someone’s dream is to be a lawyer and they are articulate and can argue well. This so called dream is well regarded in many circles but how is it going to play out in terms of the felt realities and on the ground experiences? But law can be disadvantageous as an actual career in that in some cases an inordinate time is spend on legal minutia, and essentially the global trends in terms of your grasp on what is going on can be missed as you are too tuned into the glacial aspects of how slowly law can move and suddenly it is years later and what is going on in the world and where are my sneakers for my annual jog? Also involvement in disputes all week might not jell with other categories of your preferred lifestyle such as broad reading, mediation, sports, and positive views on things, all of which can be lost in too big of a legal maze of real and manufactured bad guys when you want to avoid the bad guys and do all these other things unimpeded, things which did not make your original category in terms of your decision to go into law but not emerge as important categories that don't quite jell with the march you are now on. Before firming up on decision or approached to things that are tantamount to personal strategic decisions, square up more with other categories that are inclusive of the reality you are going to be dealing with, if you going forward on these paths, decided upon by you.
