Why is it that making decisions is so difficult?? Why are we stuck on being scared of making one?? If we are at a crossroads, and a decision has to be made why can't we just take a leap of faith and make one?? I have come to the conclusion that many decisions in life are hard to make because we are scared of making the wrong one.. I have seen it in my personal life.. I'm tasked with making the right decisions regarding employment... Which one should i choose?? Which one has the best benefits?? Will I be happy in a cubicle for 8 or more hours?? Do I rather be surrounded by people and helping them rather than sitting with no social interaction at all?? These and other questions are the ones that surround us when making a decision.. I get sick at the fact that if I pick one over the other, did I made the right choice!!
We make a list of the positive and negatives and weigh everything out.. But sometimes it's overwhelming.. You pray about it, ask God to give you a sign that you can actually see and help you make the right decision.. But still, you sit there wondering what to do!! I truly believe that it's all in being scared.. I will attest that I am truly scared of taking one because i heard of the great money opportunity that it has.. When I have an offer for another one that the money is ok but it lacks on other benefits.. Is making the money more important than my happiness at work?? If I make less but will be happier is that the right answer?? So it all comes down to making a decision.. Why can't there be a crystal ball that will give me the answer?? We all know what we want in life and the goals that we have put down to achieve. Now the question is how are we going to achieve them??? This crossroads is not easy... It's even harder when you are the breadwinner of the family and any and all decisions fall on your shoulders.. If I make the wrong one, not only I will be unhappy but my family won't be able to have their needs met... It's a hard decision.. One that I wish I myself could answer...
When we are little we read about books that the characters in them saw their future... Sometimes, I wonder what is my future going to be like?? Would I want to see what my future is going to be like so that I can make the right decisions in my present?? Would seeing my future make me happy or sad?? All these questions... I do know one thing.. I don't live with regret.. I would like a DO-OVER...lol.. There are a lot of things that I would do-over if I had the chance...
I wonder how many out there are living with the difficulty of making the right decision.. Or the right decision for us... In the end, we are the makers of our own destiny.. If we don't take chances then our life is just boring.. But if we take a chance and it doesn't come out like we planned are we going to be ok with it and move on to the next, or live with the eternal thoughts of what if.....
