Big Decisions...

Sometimes in life there are huge turning points. There are times when you have to decide. There comes a moment when it's now or never. I love it in those moments when my friends make the RIGHT choices. But man, I hate it when they don't. It's a catch 22.

I've noticed a pattern in these types of decisions. Most of the time when someone makes the wrong decision they know it. They tend to avoid anyone who is going to tell them it's the wrong thing to do. And they make these decisions quickly without consulting anyone for help. They know that it's wrong but they want to figure that out for themselves.

Also, I've noticed that when right decisions are made they tend to be thought out over time and they consider the thoughts of leaders, mentors, and friends that are in their lives. After all, what is the point of having those relationships if you can't utilize them in these types of moments? It's important...talk to them.

It's just a part of human nature to feel entitled to have the things we want. We feel like we deserve them. We deserve to be happy right now, this minute. So in that, we rush into decisions that feel good for the moment but they have only a negative lasting impact on life in the long run.

The truth is that if you don't think it's worth waiting for, then you should run from it. If you are making a choice because of an emotional feeling, table it. Give it some time. Ask a friend about it. Talk to a mentor. Don't rush into it. The best things won't necessarily happen right when we want them, but they will happen if you are patient and if you wait for the RIGHT time.
