Whenever I need to make an important decision, I stop, take a deep breath and listen to my heart until I realize I’m ready to move on.
In addition, I do this not only when I need to make decisions, but also with the abrupt changes that leave us disoriented and not knowing how to act, for me being prepared is a process that allows me to find an emotional balance.
- When we talk about the decisions we need to make and the changes we will face.
- There can be two starting points: plan for change through a deep reflection on the past or focus on the present to change the future.
Normally, we are not prepared to face sudden changes, but we must accept and deal objectively with all the situations that occur in our lives.
Perhaps objectivity to something that oppresses us and does not allow us to see clearly the situation is one of the most difficult goals to achieve, but it is one of the most effective and rewarding.
It is not the same with decisions that depend solely on us and that put us in the face of how we want to be with ourselves and with others.
In these cases, if we are lucky enough to be able to use some of our time to discuss options, think about consequences and responsibilities, we can focus on a starting point.
However, to achieve your goals you will have to act like this several times, and it will not be easy.
We all know it’s not easy, because everything worthwhile in our lives has to be tackled with a lot of personal effort.
I learned that if I think I can, I can; that I know a lot more than I imagine, that I have the courage to decide to have, that there is no weight that my shoulders cannot carry and that I can go wherever I want.
The most common feeling during changes is fear, fear invades our minds and paralyzes us. However, we must learn that fear abandons us when we reach the edge of the abyss and courage presents itself.
We’re all afraid, but we also have courage. We just have to dare to be braver than the situation requires, and when that happens, we are ready; Half the victory is already ours.
With half the victory in our hands, total victory depends on the outcome.
If it was a change from the past, you’ve already won: preparing and breathing is part of overcoming and accepting.
If it was a decision, your choice may not be correct, but you may not be discouraged or depressed. It’s not just about you and your efforts.
On the other hand, if you’re wrong, no problem: making mistakes is human, all you can control is your attitude: the ability to choose or not, to change or not, to remain who you really are.
Change shape, come down or support us
Believing that preparing to face anything that happens or can happen is the first step in being able to say: I did, I did it, or I got over it.
It doesn’t matter what the result is; the important thing is that it gives you the well-being you need.
“Our reward is in effort, not result. Is a total effort a complete victory?.
-Mahatma Gandhi-
