Decisions

One decision can change your life.

Decisions
Leah Perrino

When faced with different choices, it is always so hard to know if you made the right decision. The second thoughts, regrets and what-ifs can haunt your thoughts until you are almost certain you made the wrong choice.

Criticism from others can also be a big factor in the actual decision you are making. So many people rely on others for validation and confirmation when in reality the only person who matters is yourself. If you are happy with the choices you make, then you are the one winning, no matter what other people think. You need to make sure you make yourself happy before you worry about others. It's not being selfish, it's working on yourself.

You are the one who has to live with yourself your entire life, so why not make sure that you are doing everything you can to make yourself happy? Happiness is all anyone really wants in life, so why not make your own choices and live your best life?

You'll never know if you made the right decision until you actually make it and start living your life the way you want to. There are so many different things out there to discover and explore. You may have been doing the exact same thing your entire life, so you don't really know what else is out there. That's when you have to make the hard decisions. Do you stick with something that you've outgrown and potentially lose who you are? Or do you take that chance to get a fresh start on life and try something new?

The choice is in your hands and your hands only. So take a chance. Go down a new path. A new life is only one decision away and it's up to you to make it happen.
