Making hard decisions is just that. It's hard. Because of this, some of us tend to put it off, or avoid the decision we need to make. Let's take a moment to understand what is happening when you come to a hard decision.

The first question we should start with is, "Why am I having difficulty with this decision?". Well, when I asked myself this question I found that it was because both of my options were perfectly good options.

Okay, so why was this distressing me? Hard decisions can be distressing, even though both situations are good, because we fear missing out. Once we have said yes to one possibility, we have essentially said no to all of the others.

It can be a sad truth for those who intrinsically crave more, but there are always more decisions to be made, and more adventures to take. This is the point where you are literally crafting who you wish to be.

Take joy in the fact that we get to make these difficult decisions. Both of your options are good, and you have a chance to write the story of your life. Go forward!
