August Professionalism Blog- Choices.

Choices choices choices.. We make them everyday consciously and subconsciously from our shoes to our career.

Choices make the world go round whether we like it or not and sometimes they can lead to the right path or the wrong one and we have to make MORE choices to get us back to where we want to be.

Some choices are easy and some are hard. BUT I think that the way you decide HOW to make the choices you make are what define you as an individual. I guess it is a mix of morality, (immorality), values, intellect, ability to let go of bad choices, and how secure you are as a person.

One of the hardest choices I ever had to make was to let go and be myself instead of following the group and stay safe. Ever since I was a child I had fought being “normal” and tried not to rock the boat too much and be what others expected of me BUT one of the most important lessons I have learned with age is that until you are true to yourself and let go, then you will keep yourself in a cage and be afraid. You limit your choices which makes you feel trapped and alone instead of a part of the world and confident.

Yes, I have made bad choices but at least I was able to make them. I have made some really good ones too and without the bad I firmly believe the good would not have been possible because we learn from our mistakes and even our successes.

So I guess the choice I am asking you to make is to follow your heart and make the choices that are right for YOU and although they may not be easy; they will eventually lead you to the right road and who knows???? But that is the whole fun of it isn’t it
