Want Vs. Smart
How do you decided on what you want to do and what is the smart thing to do? Do you just throw caution in the wind and go with your current desire, or do you calculate your life out? Do you somehow come to a happy medium and if so how? And if you’re truly divided on what to do, how do you make a decision?
I’m currently facing a situation like this. I am, as they say, at a crossroad. The thing* that I want to do is staring me in the face. I’ve wanted to do this since I was a child. And I know this is probably the time for me to do it. Yet my head (stupid head) is telling me to wait. Wait until I get more things in order, wait until I can completely handle the situation without the help of others. But my overwhelming fear of waiting, which I actually don’t mind doing, is that when the “right” time for me to do this thing comes I would have missed my chance. My desire to do the thing will be gone or it would be smarter to do something else. And I know that in the back of my mind I’ll always regret it.
So when you’re heart is telling you to do one thing and your head is telling you the completely opposite, what do you do?
*thing has to do with moving, but it’s so much more than just that.
