Difficult Choices

In life, you are forced to make choices. Whether it’s right or wrong, you still have to face the consequences. I recently had to make some very difficult choices. I may have lost a few in my life along the way, but in the end, I have to do it for me.

You hear people say “I need to do me” all the time, but what does that really mean? To me, it means that you need to sacrifice in order to achieve the greater in your life. Most will view this as cruel or cold, but in the end, it’s for the better. You cannot get the best unless you sacrifice. Most people don’t do that. That’s why there are so many that aren’t moving forward. People are too clingy (myself included), too afraid to let go of something just because it’s what they are used to. People don’t like to be out of their comfort zone, and that’s the problem. You have to face challenges in order to know yourself better. You don’t know what you are capable of unless you challenge yourself. It’s easy to rely on someone or keep doing the same daily routine. But if you challenge yourself, you may even see that you are so much more than who you thought you are. That’s when you need to make your choice.

There are only two choices in life, either the right choice, or the wrong choice. There is no in between. There are also choices you need to make before reaching the main decision. If you make the wrong choice, most likely, your other choices will keep going wrong. It’s very difficult to turn it around. I made my choice, and I have to stick with it. At times, it just seems so difficult, and I question myself whether this is worth it, but I won’t really know. That’s what I have to live with.
