Decision Making & Moving On


All of us make small decisions each day. What to eat? Where to go ? Which route to use to go back home to avoid the traffic? etc. And all these decision are made instantly, knowing that they aren’t life changing decision that will impact us forever.

However there are times in life we are faced to make bigger decisions. Decisions that could probably change our path and direction in life altogether. For example, choosing a life partner, changing a house, changing jobs, or to move away from the country.

And at this junction is when one would feel the pressure. A lot of question would cross one’s mind. Am I making the right decision? Is this what I want? What if It’s the wrong choice? Will I be secured? What will this person think of my decision ? Who will support me if I fail?

Often, with all these question in mind, we finally decide to stay in our comfort zone. Due to the attachment we have, we tend not to move on. We hold and cling on to the known.
And even if we did made a decision, we would have run through them a million times with people around us and getting them to help us decide, so that we don’t take the entire blame when the decision we make doesn’t go as we assumed it would.

But with all this, we usually fail to realize that, without stepping out there and moving on, and facing that path, we aren’t gaining much. By taking the risk and moving on, we have a 50% chance of achieving something.
What’s the worst that can happen? Are we not able to handle it? I heard one that “God only gives us what he knows we can handle”. So why doubt it?

Who’s to judge us if we made a decision and move on ? Those who judge us aren’t the ones who care. The ones who care usually supports us and stands by us.

So if you are holding on to something or someone just because you’re in your comfort zone. Think again. Is I what you really want?
