Being decisive is such a luxury for a heavy over-thinker like me. So often, I have been trapped in the loooong mind-meditation to examine two or more tempting options. The shillyshally side of me tends to pull me out from the battle field. And so, the wiser version of me has been trying to snatch and throw me back into the war. I can hear she says wrathfully, “For God Sake, Quick DECIDE and DO something! You’re only wasting your time!”
I know I am not the only sufferer here.
It’s so funny how people are easily scared by choices. Afraid to pick the wrong one and later been caught in an excessive dilemma, while apparently the future offers two possibilities – you’re gonna be right or you’re gonna be wrong.
If you are right, that’s cool! Don’t waste it!
But If you’re wrong? Most of the time people will feel frustrated as if their life has been ended.
But, we can’t let our-self to be in this state. So how can we cope with it?
1. Assuming that God has let you make a faulty pick for your good. God is The Omniscient. He has learned that you’ll make a mistake while you’re still busy calculating consequences. In a nutshell, yeah He does want you to make the mistake. Then is He malevolent? No. His intention is to protect you from falling into the same hole in the future, and to test your forbearance and maturity in facing the salvation. The good news is, you’ll be inherited the seat of honor once you pass the test.
2. As long as what you can do with your choices will still enable you to do good or turn you into a better person, that’s worth it! No matter which school, which employer, which job position, which man/woman or other which(es) you select. Face it, life is a constant “Lose Some Win Some” reality. If you focus on the right reasons, whatever outcomes you’ll receive will always feel right. Trust me.
