“We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision.”

This week I have come to find that not all decisions are always the best to make as well as the easiest to make.  Some people you would never expect can be hurt in the process of your decision for reasons you also did not expect.  It is times like these that really get you thinking and often over thinking your decision making skills.

How do you react to someone who after countless times of trying to get to open up finally does so when a potential life changing decision on your end has been made?  Do you simply accept their feelings and reactions to it and move on as it is YOUR decision and it already has been made.  Or do you think back on your process of making that decision and wonder, "Did I really think this through thoroughly?"  This has been my challenge for the week, and to be honest it has been one that I am still struggling with!

As much as I would like to have the confidence in myself to say that my decision I have made is going to be a great one in the long run and that everything is going to work out well, I can't help but take into consideration this unexpected persons concerns and reactions.  Is he right?  Am I making a potential mistake?  Am I not thinking of all the possibilities and outcomes of this situation?  Or I am possible over thinking it all now rather than living in the moment, moving on from a dead end and starting a new chapter...  There are the thoughts that have been boggling my mind for the past week.

 "Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach."

I think this quote does a great job at tying in what I need to do about this situation.  Stay committed and have confidence in myself as well as the decision I have made, but be open and cautious to other ways on going about it.
