How to make important choices in your life?
Today, I want to talk about something that is quite important and deep but everyone in their journey will encounter in life and that is making important choices. We, as human beings typically start to make choices for ourselves since we develop consciousness. We were asked to choose what kind of food we like to eat, which flavored candy and if we wanted to do anything good or bad. As we become more and more mature on this journey, we began to face bigger and bigger path selections. Questions like ‘Which degree do you want to study?’, ‘Who do you want to live with in uni?’ and ‘whether to continue working hard or stop giving shits about conventional education.’ There are a lot to these important yet very hard decision making dilemma. Sometimes, I feel lost when I had to make those decisions that would possibly affect my life long-term and it is literally so difficult. I am sure most of you can relate to it as well, cause we are all on the same boat when we are feeling vulnerable to the cruel reality that you have only one chance to change your life in many different way.
That is my advice for you for who is looking for an answer because you just really don’t what to choose. I wouldn’t say I am experienced and sophisticated in life cause I am still quite young in age. However, I am on the journey of learning and I really want to share my thoughts with you on these topics because they are just too important to ignore.
Wait for a minute, look at how beautiful this cactus blossom is!
I remember there were just so many times where I chose the wrong path for myself and suffered because I did not listen to my soul. It was also partly due to my desperation to get over these things as they were confusing and I didn’t want to deal with them anymore.
The key is to listen to your intuition.
I know it is definitely not the only way to it, but if you really don’t know the answer, it is perhaps the time to slow down your life and rethink yourself from head to toes. You can try asking questions like ‘Who are you really?’, ‘ What is your soul craving?’ or it can just be that you are feeling something strange or desperate which makes you uneasy to make that decision you are supposed to make. This is one of the best way I have discovered along my way of learning and experiencing. I personally made a lot of mistakes to please other people and achieve all kinds of social expectations which I don’t want any of you to experience.
Since life is short, you shall really listen to your heart and follow how you feel because that might be something the God/ the Universe is trying to tell you and lead you to the right path, specially just for you. We are now living in a super fast-paced world and sometimes life can become too busy and too messy. Nevertheless,slowing down my thinking process once in a while, trying to connect to the spiritual self and declutter my mind has always helped me to have a clearer vision on the purposes, the aims and the things that are important to me as well as a break from the materialistic world.
Keep calm and follow your heart!
