I love how everyone over here is making huge decisions either jobs or relationships or even further studies. But I am literally watching to decide whether if I should buy my prom dress online or not 😂

Edit: Sept 2022
Omg so many people liked and replied to this thank you!!
Also: the dress was worth it. I definitely got very lucky 😂

"The long term impact of making a decision from your heart and soul, that is where the best life comes from because you are living for what is true for you, not what is safe in the moment." I really felt that. Wonderful.

Based on my personal experience, everytime I need to make a decision but I don't know what I'm gonna choose, what I'm gonna do is clean my house, take a shower, eat good, sleep first, no distractions (wifi off), I want to make sure, I will woke up with complete rest and that is the time I will spend my time talking to God. I will ask him wisdom so I decide happily. I will not force anything. I will not manipulate anything. I will simply leave everything to God. Few days, weeks, or months. I will hear something, feel something that I should choose this decision and I will stick to it no matter what. And most of the time, I don't get any regrets by choosing it and then I will thank God for the wisdom.

I so needed to hear this as I contemplate leaving my office job of 15 years to get a pilot's licence. Terrifying, unsafe and uncertain. But so freeing. Thankyou for reminding us to tune in to our soul.

All my hardest decisions I have made in my life was based on the intuition ( it is from the heart, right?), but I didn’t know that back then. It was hard as hell, I quit job and relationship because it was too much together, and started from zero. It was the hardest thing to do, but even then I knew that staying where I am at was not an option because it was toxic and I knew that if I will not get out of this situation, I will be lost forever. So I did, and from the moment that I took my gut to do it, my life has been amazing. ( it took me a few years, of course). If someone is reading this and is at the moment that he/she knows is the time to go from bad relationships, toxic work places and co-workers, just take a few breathes and do it. It will be worth it when you will look back a few years later. 💪🏻

Thank you! As a chronic over-thinker who gets gripped in anxiety, this was super helpful!

The key thing about making hard decisions is to think things through DEEPLY. When the choice is made, OWN your decision whatever it may bring.

If you want to have a peace of mind, detach yourself from the results and live the moment. Be STOIC

Which option would you choose if you had only one more year to live. Try that one if you are stuck :)

Just left a job that I was comfortable in to start a job doing something completely new but impactful. I needed this.

“Living for what’s true for you and not what’s safe in the moment”- thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to hear- I’m about to make a terrifying decision that has a long term benefit but short term discomfort.🙏😔❤️

Sometimes, though, we DO follow our hearts, and we end up disappointed. This is where prayer is needed. Ask for guidance, and let HIM direct your steps.

When the heart, mind, and experience are in sync..pull the trigger.

Everyone: How do I know if I'm making the right decision?
Reality: *You can't know*

[LonjeMarie]

There’s no Growth in playing it safe and not taking a risk. Thank you Mel!!

[shizzle]

Both decisions are right. They just can’t coexist. I hate this.

[AnnieVip]

I chose not to follow my heart and the long-term result was an emptiness and depression.

[ajaisjourney]

I’m so happy I came across this when deciding on something so difficult I’m pregnant & I have to decide if I should move back home with my parents since I’m in another state or just move into my own place after my break up. & my heart says go for my own place & soar because going back to my parents just seems backwards n safe. & what’s is life if your not taking risks to be true to your soul God separate you & put you in positions to use you & elevate you. ❤

"Whats true for you, not what is safe in the moment".

This is so hard for me, because I know staying in university is going to open up opportunities for me, yet at the same time I'm making that decision based off of logic. I know I need a break, I know that I cannot mentally or physically handle another year of that but I can't logic this out. I don't know who I am. I don't know what I want. I cant remember the last time I sat down with myself, somewhere along the way I lost myself in all of this and I don't know if ill ever be able to feel sane again. I need a year of something low stress with no obligations just so I can reconnect to who I am and what I find important, just so I can find my balance again but its going to be detrimental to my future and ill be forfeiting my place at an elite university, all I know is that I literally cannot spend another year in that reactive zombie like state.
