So I find myself on this little blog burst lately about decisions. Part of it is that I
have a rather difficult decision that I must make regarding some extended
family situations. I put the idea out on facebook the other day and it seems
that I am making the right choice but that doesn't make the choice any easier
to make.
Sometimes we are forced to make a choice off of another's actions. It is
often not fair but that is part of the world that we live in. We have to know
that our world is not just controlled by our own actions but by the actions of
those around us. We will be presented with the choice of a door that we did
not intend to open or close and we have to choose to react to it in a way that
is not only reprsentative of our goals and desires but of the goals and things
we want to encourage in our children.
We can't expect people to schedule their lives around our activities. That is
a very selfish idea in all. We have to accept that sometimes people will want
to do something that does not fit our own goals and desires and we will have
to accept it and move forward. No matter how hard we try we can't make
someone do something that is in our best interest if it is not in the best interest
of their own lives.
Just like the way leads on to way, life is full of all kinds of choices between
a path and another path, both might seem equally nice but we know in
our hearts that one might be better for us than the other. Maybe its the one
that is harder and even though it would be nice, just this once to take the
easy way out we know that doing this would set us back a step on our
ultimate goal.
Sometimes making the executive decision involves doing what isn't easy
and then standing by the choice even when it gets hard. I know in the
long run that this gets me closer to my intended goal and I guess that I
should stay focused on that part.
Here's to hoping the next decision will be much easier to make though.
