Have you ever had one of those moments where you thought you
didn’t know what to do next? What direction to take or what move to make? You
were confused, scared, worried or maybe all of the above. Funny thing is, in
your heart you knew exactly what you needed to do. Then you second-guessed
yourself and what should have been a definitive action instead ended with
inaction.
Life often is not nearly as
complicated as we have the tendency to make it. More times then not you know
what needs to be done, but you make the decision not to follow through.
“Even if you choose not to decide,
you still have made a choice” RUSH ~ Freewill
It has been said that the mind is
the devil’s playground and when it comes to making the tough decisions (and
sometimes even the easy ones) it is common to over think what needs to be done
and instead, do nothing.
In most cases doing something is
always superior to doing nothing. I promise that you will accomplish much more
by trusting your initial gut feeling and going for it. You can always make
mid-course corrections, but you can never get back the time you lost thinking
about how and when to get started or make a change.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying
you should quit your job or get divorced tomorrow … but maybe you should. ;) If
you know something to be true in your heart of hearts, but you have been
skillfully avoiding the issue by lying to yourself or convincing yourself that
the time just isn’t right maybe it’s time to jump.
Life can be challenging, but
rarely is it as complicated as we make it out to be in our minds. Life is a
wonderful journey full of experiences, both bad and good, that make us who we
are. So the next time you don’t know, but in fact you do know, take a stand, do
what needs to be done and move on. There is always today … but no guarantee of
tomorrow. Don’t waste the present moment worrying and over thinking every
little thing. Trust your gut and get on with it! You know?
