It's tough to identify whether it is greed that drove you to make a certain decision or was it because of ones consciousnesses. Hence that's why we hit many errors in life. As i did mention about greed in one of my earlier posts, this can be a very destructive force. Many people have greed in them but only the successful ones manage to control it. I too had my share of greed which led me to certain downfalls in my journey.
Greed is an act of always wanting more. There are not limits for greed. The sky and beyond hold no limits to greed. That's where the problem comes. One may have already reached a certain target but because of wanting more, they hold on to something seeing that it is either benefiting or profiting that person all these while. However, like one of my mentors mentioned, "a rocket can only go higher IF there is enough fuel to carry it". Hence, we do not stop and analyze the very basics at times taking for granted it will keep benefiting or profiting from that same object. Yes, it's really tough to see beyond the hidden areas when greed clouds the eyes. Next to no time, whatever that was previously benefiting and profiting that person, plummet right down further than anyone can dream of. That's when the fuel had run out and gravity is pulling it down faster than anything else.
Now, that comes to one thing. HOW do we know if it's GREED that is talking to us? Or our rational side of us? It's always tough to know especially when u need to make a decision quick and sometimes you feel that you're missing the train fast. It helps to take a step back first and take a look at the overall picture from a further view. Nevertheless, my personal favourite is, follow your plan. In any aspect of life, there has to be a plan before doing anything. Like a tennis game, you have to have a plan on what kind of strategy you would like to use to defeat the opponent and stick to it. Of course, during the game you may need to change the strategy now and then but that still boils down to a plan. Most of the people fall into greed and HOPE for the better. Of course at times, it helps but out of the 100 times, probably 2-3 times worked. So, what are the odds here huh?
Hence, to avoid greed, we should always have a plan or strategy before going in and not following your emotions. Yes, i know it's tough. There will be "voices" saying "you're gonna miss it man, it's a big one!". Sit back, analyze it from a further picture and then decide. Especially when one makes a crucial decision, they have to totally focus on all aspects that might or might not happen. Everything.
It is not easy but after a long run, it will definitely be more benefiting/profiting to anyone than letting GREED make decisions for you.
