6 Difficult Decisions You’ll Never Regret Making
Avoid them at your own cost
You’re going to die full of regret.
If you follow society’s prescribed path, it’s all but inevitable. Why? Because most people spend their lives achieving other people’s goals. It’s not that you don’t have dreams, but you stifle them in the name of being practical.
Pretty soon a decades pass and you’re still at that job you hate. You’ve become one of what Jean-Paul Sartre called, “Smooth and smiling faces… but ruin in their eyes.”
Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you you start today, you can avoid this fate entirely no matter how old you are. But you’ve got to be willing to make some to ugh decisions.
There are some decisions in life that are worth making.
1. Going with your Gut
Have you ever had that nagging feeling you should (or shouldn’t) do something, but you didn’t listen?
Chances are, you eventually regretted it.
There’s a reason why so many great thinkers, from the ancient Stoic philosophers to modern-day psychologists, emphasize the importance of intuition.
Your gut is your inner compass.
