We make countless decisions as we go through our lives. It’s not always easy to make the best choices and we can create a mess by making them quickly and without thought. We all take a wrong turn once in a while but if we’re lazy and pass things off, choosing to let things happen as they will instead of purposely making a considered choice we may end up with a life filled with unnecessary complications and difficult scenarios that may have been avoided. Instead of moving forward we may spend a lot of time cleaning up messes we’ve created by making bad choices. The time spent turning things around again is time lost and cannot be used toward achieving our goals. Deciding to live our lives thoughtfully takes effort but when we do we have a better chance of things going the way we want them to. We can live our lives any way we choose. If we like conflict and disharmony, it’s easy to create but both require time and energy to repair and keep our eyes from the road ahead. Learning to live in ways that bring harmony and cooperation, and choosing to make choices carefully will take us closer to the goals we’re seeking and bring us satisfaction and happiness.
Our emotions lag behind our intellect. When something happens that triggers a negative emotional response instead of taking time to think we may jump. Instead of taking of moment to evaluate our next move, we may simply charge right back and make the situation worse. We may allow our emotional reaction to decide how we’ll act. Emotions are important and help us understand our world but when we let them decide how we’ll respond to conflict we may not get the best results. We can step back for a moment and think about what’s best going forward before we act. It isn’t easy to step back when we feel threatened or hurt but we have all the strength and wisdom we need to accomplish it. Taking a moment to think first may save us additional duress going forward and help us resolve conflict before it gets out of hand.
If we choose to go through our lives reacting to things instead of taking time to respond in ways that help we may end up in situations that are heated and difficult to navigate. Reactions are normal and when things happen that upset or confuse us if we don’t take a moment to stop and think we may do things that elevate the situation and make things worse. We are always in control of our lives. We can choose ways that make the road ahead easier instead of react in ways that make it harder. There will always be conflict but how we manage it is up to us. We can choose what’s best and make decisions that will prevent a mess going forward.
Today if you’re in a situation that is filled with conflict and you feel the tension rising within you, take a moment to step back and think about your options going forward. You are in complete control of everything you do and you can make excellent choices that will bring harmony and peace into your life. Choose the way forward that helps you keep your eyes on your goals. There isn’t anything too difficult or complex for you to figure out. You have everything you need to succeed. Take your time and choose success.
