What Should I Do?

Most times we always get to a junction in life where this question comes up, the question is what should I do. As humans, we usually want a life that is safe and devoid of all the issues around the world and as such, we usually choose the path with more certainty. We choose the path that creates the best assurance as if we are guaranteed it would ever happen. But what we need to always realize is that what matters is in doing the right thing, not the easy thing.

If that path you are taking guarantees you all the goodness in this world, it might just be the wrong thing. If the decision you want to take might just ensure that everything up ahead would be good, it might just be the wrong decision. But do not get me wrong, I do not mean to always go for the most disastrous of decisions, but what I mean is to always realize that just because the decision is safer does not make it the better decision.

In deciding what meal to have, the easy option might just be to quickly grab the next item on the store and the difficult option might be to take time and get some more natural food. Looking at it now, getting fast food is the easy option, but that does not make it the best option. And your next objection would be that it is usually not that easy. And yes, I can tell you, it is usually not that easy, but the best option that you can always go for is the option that makes you a better version of yourself. Did you realize that by default, everybody wants a life free of stress and hassles, but what we have to realize is that we sometimes have to go through the stress and hassles anyways if we ever want to be that version of ourselves we so admire?

So the next time you have an option of what you want to do and you ask yourself what should I do, choose the option that in the end makes you a better version of yourself. A version of yourself you would be happy with one day. No one decision would give you a perfect ride, it would come with its ups and downs, but an option you choose to be a better version would leave you in the end with a version of yourself you would be proud of.

So no matter what you do, ensure that you are pushing yourself every day to be that version of yourself who wants to be better. Know that whether you can do it or not, it all begins in your mind. Begin first in your mind and believe that you can get through and keep pushing. No one guarantees it would be easy, but at least you would not leave the rest of your life regretting that you never took the action that was best for you. Remember, the goal is to become a version of yourself you never was. And that starts with taking the better option. Now go be that version of yourself who pushes themselves to become something really better. We are rooting for you and we believe in you. Good luck. Thanks and God bless.
