Making decisions

In life sometimes we will face situations in which we have to make a decision that can change our course in a transcendental way, such as a change of job, city or partner; but due to the lack of decision, because of the fear that produces us to leave the so-called "comfort zone, although it has nothing comfortable, we prolong as much as we can the resolution that allows us to act accordingly, which can make us feel for a while like on the edge of a precipice, until the moment comes when we can not stand the tension and perhaps we say something like: to be hanging on is better to fall.

When we make a decision of this type, it is because we have previously identified a situation that is harming us in some way and that has no better solution than to nip it in the bud, in addition, we must have found a viable solution. There is a phrase that says something like the best thing we can do in our lives is the right thing, the second, the wrong thing and the worst, nothing; it seems to me very accurate, since it is better to err than not to try. The only way to overcome something, is with actions for that purpose, and we do not always get it right the first time, so tenacity and perseverance are necessary to not give up along the way.

Obviously no one wants to make a decision that involves suffering and hardship, so it takes courage to do it, but we must focus on what we will achieve after that step and what would happen if we stay where we are, which is better? When the reward is greater than the sacrifice, the balance tips in our favor, we just need to have analyzed the associated risks, to know if we have the fortitude to overcome them.

I remember listening to a video of Pilar Sordo in which she mentioned something about the minute just before doing something decisive, that in that instant you feel an emptiness in your stomach and after it happens you say to yourself, it's done, it's over. What you feel after that will let you know if you have made the right decision or not. Do you feel relieved? Or do you feel worse?

The right decision... before executing it we don't know if it is, only that it is the best option we can think of at the moment, therefore we must be aware that we could be wrong, but it is something we have to discover for ourselves. The scope of our decision, only time will reveal it to us, most likely it will lead us to take several others, until we adjust the result to our expectations. So, in order not to be disappointed from the beginning, we must be clear that it will most likely take us several attempts and with that in mind, we must undertake the adventure thinking that we will find what we dreamed of.
