“Sometimes, where you’re meant to go means leaving things behind.” - Marina Fahim
Our lives consist of a series of decisions. Sometimes, the decisions we have to make are not the easiest ones. Many of us know what it’s like to end up at a crossroads of life, where moving forward requires leaving things behind. While the quote that started this whole post can have one thinking of everything they lost, it can also be looked at in another light.
The path we are about to travel has things we will want to pick up and enjoy, and the truth is we can’t hold it all. This means there is a benefit to putting things down and leaving them on the road behind us so we can pick up the amazing things we will find along the way.
So how do we look forward…
Start Here:
Think of the life that you want to achieve. What does this look like for you? Taking into account career, personal development and social relationships.
Now, think of the things that are holding you back, keeping you away from the life that you want for yourself. In other words, what do you need to put down?
What are the rewards of making these changes, and what are the potential repercussions?
What are the repercussions of making no decision at all?
Remember, every path you’ve journeyed in life was once new until you found your way. This new feeling will pass, and this will become the road most frequently travelled.
