life is full of decision, to live is to decide. not to decide is also a decision. remember to learn from it
Mm, i know that i’m not a person that can easily decide on something, especially when it’s a big decision. i usually take a long time to think it through (sometimes i took time long enough, until i don’t need to make a decision and let situation decide it for me).
lately i feel that i really need to start to make a decision for my life.. i feel that i need something different, i need to walk forward, i feel that lately i’ve been in my comfort zone, and it makes me afraid of going forward.
this thoughts swarming in my mind lately;
1. i need to get off my comfort zone and get going forward, find new challenges, learn something new, coz people says that comfort zone is bad, and it can hold me for being my best (they say good is an enemy for the best). i start to dream, maybe i can work in an international company, maybe i can work abroad, and somehow i can travel round the world, maybe just maybe, i can compete and found new skills, i can make new friends, i can have lot’s of new experience, there will be lot’s of new things in my life.. but then i started to afraid, what if it’s not what i imagine, what if it’s not as good as i think, what if i make a wrong decision.. and a second thought come to my mind;
2. i like this comfort zone, and i don’t think i can find a better place than this one, i have my perfect job, fun environment, great salary, like the position and they trust me. i have new and fun to manage cell group, i have my close friends with me, and with this steady life, (i think) i can start a serious relationship. (omG, You really are so good to me ^^).. and with all this, i start to think, why do i need to get moving, why do i need to release all this for something that is not certain, maybe i’m just bored and i just need to deal with this feeling and give thanks for what G gave me,
after all, life will be boring sometimes, and i have to learn to deal with it (i mean i cannot run away everytime i feel bored, right? it’s responsibility).
hmmm… dunno.. still haven’t made up my mind yet, but i need to decide fast!
nb: G said that whatever decision i make, He will always be with me, and i need not be afraid coz He is with me… He holds my right hand n never let me go.
here’s a nice story about decision:
recently there is a crisis in america, that affect almost every business in the country.. but there’s this businessman that keeps on leading his company to grow and making profit. his business survive the crisis, and many of his competitor didn’t. one day he is being interviewed by a local magazine for his success recipe during the crisis. what is the key to survive, to keep on growing and making profit in those bad situation. He answered, ” Good decision, Good decision, Good decision.” not satisfied by his answer, the interviewer asked another question, “then what is your key to make such decisions??”. The man answered, “Bad decision, Bad decision, Bad decision.” the interviewer shocked and then asked the man to explain his statement. He said, “people only see my success, and wanted the key, they don’t look on my past failure, i make a lot of failure in the past, i lost my business and not only once. everytime i decide to get up and give it a try one more time, i learn from those bad decisions that i’ve made and it makes me be a better decision maker, every step at a time.”, he continued “cruel ocean creates a great sailor, great storms creates a mighty eagle.. guess what life challenges can make a person be?”. “don’t be affraid to make a decision, just don’t forget to learn from it.” as Psalm 23 said “Give thanks always in every circumstances, and know that you’ll never walk alone.”
