What is it about being able to justify our actions and also find a reason not to act on opportunity when we set it up for ourselves in the first place? Its easier to talk about the “why/why not” as opposed to focusing on “how” to proceed.  Most people seem to have their own personal excuses and use them whenever they want to get out guilt free.

When we hesitate to do what feels right at that moment there often comes a lengthy psychological battle with the self. What a waste of energy and time, why not try and take a risk that may turn out to be a victory in the end. What’s the harm in saying “yes” and what repercussion does “no” hold?

We do it all the time with exercise, food, committing to social events, relationships, business opportunity, and anything that requires us to keep failing when we chose the same old path.

If you think of the bigger picture the answer is clearer and filled with confidence. Set a goal and stick it through, especially if the risk of hurting not only yourself but others is high. When people that matter to us are involved it almost makes it easier (it’s never easy) to decide and do it at a quick pace. No hesitation. The more you get used to reacting and making moves, the smoother it gets with new ones that potentially hold more weight.

Either way you go about it,  we’re all human and we all make mistakes. Even when we try not to, we do and that’s what makes us real. If we keep making the same mistake then we have no excuse and that repeated offense gets us all in the end. Weakness exists in all of us, understanding and living well with it is what makes us strong.

Make a decision and stick with it. If you don’t feel good about the outcome, try a new avenue. If you’re still breathing you still have a chance.

This one goes out to all the people I love and care for that struggle every day with new decisions and come out swinging. Life isn’t easy but it rules with all of you in it.

Like skype says “take a deep breath” and the rest is what it is.
