old blog post #3

Maybe I should start listening to myself. My old self, or the me I gave up? Point is it's action time. Make the decision or suck it up up!

Entry for June 27, 2007



decision: noun- the act of or need for making up one's mind
choice-noun-The power, right, or liberty to choose; option.
Growing up I always heard a certain phrase in our household. Yes, it most always pertained to me. It bugged the heck out of me! It would always hurt me. As I got older and moved away I thought I was numb to it. Then whenever faced with a major decision, the tape reel in my head would play that phrase. Now facing major choices in my professional and personal life I just want to scream “shut up!” Was this what my family had intended? Was this their way of ensuring I thought things through? I have had the worst pit in my stomach lately. Feeling as if people are staring at me like Regis Philbin asking, “final answer?”. Where’s my lifeline? Do I really need one? Looking back when I made spontaneous decisions I never felt sick. Does that mean I should just trust my instinct and go with my first choice? Go with the decision I truly want or what I think everyone else thinks I should choose. That kind of contemplation (or coercion) has gotten me where I am now. Not entirely regretting decisions made, but wishing I had better choices.
