Over the past ten years I have learned many things about life and personal development. One of the hardest lessons I have had to learn and indeed am still learning revolves around tough decisions. It’s more than likely true that when you make tough decisions you will have some resistance… but what happens when you don’t make these decisions?
Making tough decisions despite opposition
The ultimate goal in life is I think a simple one. To live it as you were supposed to live it. I think most of us were created with a purpose in mind… to find the purpose is the first part and the second part is to use that purpose for the greater good. It’s of no use to accumulate endless reams of money if we don’t live a balanced life pursing that which we know we should. Hence, I find myself constantly hitting a brick wall when it comes to others. I find as a person who, for some bloody reason, see’s things happening around him before others do that I get frustrated when people don’t see things my way.
So much so that instead of doing something about it… I will capitulate. This is a habit I am unlearning at present. However, I have realised that sometimes when you see things it’s because you have developed a talent about something that others haven’t or for some other spiritual reason. That doesn’t make you better at life than them… it just gives you insight. So, I have learned that you need to develop yourself as somebody who thinks and acts accordingly. When it’s in your power to do so… do something. When it isn’t … don’t. Remember, not everybody knows what you are talking about.
Making the tough decisions anyway
I like to keep people happy and tend to avoid conflict most of the time. The reality is as I am learning, you can’t actually keep people happy. Conflict is unavoidable and a necessary part of life. For me it’s extremly hard to front up to a situation and have the balls to tackle it. I would rather not. But, you must do it.
I want to leave you with a thought. Don’t put off the tough decisions for long. If you have to wait. Wait. Use wisdom, discernment and whatever else works for you. Remember though that you will still have to make it through at some stage. You will have to face that tough decision even if you don’t want to. That’s life. What we can do is learn be afraid and take the chances we know we have to and even if we fail we can still remain happy knowing that next time we can do it all again!
