thoughts on decisions

"Trust yourself. If you do not, then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do and at the same time resenting their help. Trust in yourself starts with being ok with the consequences of your decisions"

I was reminiscing back on big decisions I've made in my life and found one thing to be consistent. In each circumstance that I've been confronted with a large decision, I've sought out the help of others and placed a huge amount of significance on their opinion. But looking back on it, none of that matters. For instance, when deciding on which sorority I liked best (and even which college I liked best), I listened to so much of what other people had to say about the different reputations.  Doing so left me feeling as though I'd been dropped into the deep end of a very large pool and was doing summersaults underwater just trying to get to the surface to catch my breath. It was overwhelming. I felt uncomfortable going with my inner feelings and against the opinions of others, but I am so glad I trusted myself. So here's to trusting ourselves and the lord, because great things can happen when we do.

have a spectacular week my friends!
