Regretless
Have you ever wondered if you are making the right choice?
How could you know for certain?
What if you are wrong?
What if you move too soon or not soon enough in your decision making?
These are all questions we may struggle with at some point in time when making decisions about relationships, jobs, or even friendships. In anything we choose to do, we may wonder: are we making the right choice?
I will share a decision-making method that has helped me to navigate through the landscape of sound choices. First, it may be necessary to rewrite a question before seeking answers, i.e, tailoring the question from “are you making the right choice” to:
“Are you making the right choice for YOU, at this time?”
I personally believe we must “independently” choose our own path based on how our choices impact our lives. I am in no way saying “do not consider others”—I am simply enforcing the importance of considering YOU in any equation. Too often we make decisions influenced by factors outside of any consideration of how our decisions will affect our lives.
A lot of times this influence comes from seeking input or validation of our decisions from other people. However, we must be careful when soliciting input from people, especially life changing decisions, because each person’s opinion may be heavily weighted on the foundation of their life experiences.
The call to action here is for each of us to stand by any decisions we make…independently. Even if or when our input is necessary for a “group” type of decision, WE must be able to stand on a firm independent position rooted in a solid consideration of our own individual needs.
How do WE do that?
