Whether its business or pleasure, you always find yourself in situations where a decision has to be made.
Sometimes some of these situations are life changing events; so when you do realize a lot of things are changing you ask yourself: “mmm what would of happened if I did “something else” instead? “
Suddenly you’d doubt yourself and you’d forget the reasons why’d did you do it!
But reminding yourself why you did it; is what will make you move forward.
I recently dealt with a major situation where my decision would mutate the rest of my career life; the decision was about whether I needed to change jobs or not, to seek new opportunities, to learn new things and finally to find different kind of challenges.
When hitting a tough point and feeling lost, I doubted myself on whether my decision was the right one or not.
This can also happen on a personal note:
I’ve decided this year to spend this winter vacation on my own instead of going back home; so I can stay focused on work.
When I hit a down turn (last night); realize I’m actually spending Christmas Eve away from family, I forgot what were the reasons that made me stay here.
I felt sad about it until I finally reminded myself why I’ve made this choice.
I promised myself not to forget why I’ve made the choices I made, in order to be able to move on without any regrets!
The conclusion didn’t turn out like I’ve hoped for, oh well…you got the point!
