It’s okay to say yes to yourself.
Life has many different seasons. Just as the seasons change, so do we. As we are forced with new opportunities, we are also faced with challenges. Change warrants challenges and fear. The possibility of failure begins to surface. Analyzing change and opportunity is very important. Paying attention to your fears and concern are a key factor to balancing your choices (risk vs. reward). Below, are some of my “change” analyzing steps:
1) Identify the change you are making, and edicate yourself on the topic. They say “knowledge is power”, correct? Educating yourself can help you decipher any possible outcomes. The unforeseen happens, keep that in mind.
2) WRITE IT DOWN! As corny as it seems, write down a pros and cons list. Seeing possibilities in front of you can not only help organize your thoughts but it can also help you organize the number of variables you have with the proposed change.
3) Address how these outcomes will affect your future. Be honest with yourself. Loving youreself despite conflict is very difficult yet important. If you are able to find happiness within yourself, you will find happiness within your choices. The opinion of others will not persuade your judgement if you are comfortable with who you are.
*side note* opinions can range, and you maybe have ample disapproval, but your life belongs to you. You were only given this life once to live. Your community doesn’t have to like your choices. You must remain strong. If your “mission” is clear and your plan is executed the way you want. YOU ARE LIVING. Those who truly care about your well being will walk beside you. They will support you, within reasonable circumstances. Remember, Those who choose to leave are MISSING OUT ON YOU. Sadness and anger may follow but don’t let it distract you.
3) Address how this will affect those who actually want to be apart of your life. Consider their feelings, but remember they will trust in you to be who you are. Don’t ever apologize for being who you are. They won’t want you to change because your presence makes them happy.
4) Simply put, it’s okay to say NO. Sometimes saying no to someone else means saying yes to yourself.
5) Finally, remain confident. Change can bring a roller coaster of reactions and emotions. If you feel the change is right for you, then you have no reason to question it. Change can bring you so much joy and happiness if you embrace if. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
They don’t have to like you. You cannot go wrong when you’ve chosen to be happy.
As always,
Artistically yours
