Decisions.

You lay it out on the table and look at it from all angles.

You look at the choices you can make.

You weigh the pros – You weigh the cons.

Both might be very heavy.

Both might be very hard.

But, at the end of the day, you have to make a decision.

 

Every time I have to make a conflicting decision, I can’t help but think that I could’ve done better.

That I could’ve made a different conclusion.

 

And maybe I could have.

But once you get to the point where you make a decision in your life, it’s time to start moving.

I find myself staying put and mulling over decisions, whether big or small, constantly.

 

I know that I need to trust myself and continue to move forward.

The decision I made was for a reason.

I decided, so I now move forward.

 

Lately, I’ve had to make a lot of decisions and I am definitely thinking a lot.

 

But, I’m reminding myself to continue to move forward.

 

I owe it to myself to be firm in what I feel and to trust my feelings.

For any of you mulling over a decision in your life, remind yourself of these things:

• What feels right is probably right. Your feelings matter, and although that choice may be much harder, it’s like ripping off the bandaid. It will hurt – but you know it is likely for the best.
• Trust yourself. You aren’t stupid – you aren’t crazy. You know yourself better than anyone, so you can sit back and know that the decision you made was well-informed by the person who knows you best: You.
• Be patient. Time moves slowly when you want it to move quickly, but that doesn’t mean you can’t move, too.
• Keep moving.

 

I want my words to be good.

I want my actions to be good.

I want my decisions I make to be good.

 

And at the end of the day, I may not be right, but I am doing my best.

And for me, that’s all I can do.

And that’s okay.

And you can take your sweet time, but she ain’t gonna wait,
‘Cause a new coat of paint don’t make the stain go away.”
