Your Journey, Your Decision

My personal journey still has a long way to go. I'm not even halfway there yet. I've been through a lot, but time seems to fly by, with nothing happening, and nothing changing. I have to come back down this road, once again.. 

I am still very slow.

I don't have any more energy to put in, it feels like I'm giving up and I feel like I'm fighting for a lost cause.

I have asked for some help and thank goodness they are willing to help me. However, there is more to do, and more things yet to happen. Nothing is easy. It's not like a bird is free to fly high and easily get to where it wants to go. 

I stumbled many times, my body was weak and sore, I had scars, and my face seemed old from the ordeal, but still nothing has changed.

Even though I sped up my walk, it's still not enough. No progress. Maybe, I'm going the wrong way, and the approaching road has turned further away.

But what choice do I have?

I'll just keep going.

Life is full of trial and error. It's not easy. It's not as fast as expected. We can imagine it, but it doesn't really happen the way we think it will or should. There are a lot of steps to take. 

Our mind should ponder what the best decision might be. It's about thinking and meditating on what metacognition means - thinking about one's own thinking and learning.

Letting every situation guide you into it more deeply. The more experience you have, the safer your intuition will be as you will be basing it on reliable information.

Sometimes, we have to take risks because through it we can learn and know what to do next time. It helps to know what we want and what we don't like. It will make us smarter and wiser in dealing with similar situations in the future.

 

According to Barry Schwartz, PhD, a psychologist and professor of social theory at Swarthmore College and author of The Paradox of Choice.

We're constantly being told that we can find the best if we try hard enough, and that if we don't, it's our own fault," says Schwartz. "It's a recipe for misery." Too much choice not only makes a decision harder, he continues, but also makes it more likely that we'll regret our selection. 

Good enough is often good enough. Follow your intuition and there is nothing wrong with making mistakes.
