Hard choices

Hard choices are a part of life. Sometimes there is no good answer to a given problem. When this happens, you must make a decision and stand by it.

Never rush blindly into anything. Learn as much as you can before deciding on a course of action. Failing to look before you leap can lead to a nasty fall.

If you make a mistake, take ownership of it. Those who blame others only compound their shame. By not taking responsibility, you only make things worse.

To survive, we must be able to take a few punches. Getting knocked down is no excuse for staying there. Stand back up and get yourself back into the fray.

There are many hardships on the way to success. Do not become discouraged if you hit a wall. Obstacles merely exist to be eventually overcome.

It is hard to proceed when you hit a solid object. There are many ways of getting past without going through. Or maybe you just need to hit the right spot.

  1. Mistakes aren't such a bad thing if you can learn from them. It just gets bad if you constantly beat yourself up over something that was well intentioned. Sometimes the outcome is hard to predict! Own it but don't let a failure go to your head.

    1. It is important to take responsibility and then take action to avoid a repeat performance. With some decisions, it is hard to tell what choice to make. In such cases, just do your best.

  2. The hard choices do indeed test us, learning from our mistakes is part of always moving forward. Only in hindsight do we know the impact of the hard decisions we make but we must always progress if we are to realize our dream.
