Deciding to go to the movies, to dinner or shopping are easy everyday choices that are pleasurable and satisfying. The hard decisions are associated with sad feelings, like knowing that one is letting someone down or worrying over whether it is right or not.
Maybe it is due to not wanting to be seen doing the wrong thing so ifs and buts constantly invade our thoughts. Can I morally make this decision and feel that I have done the right thing? Or will I berate myself afterwards?
They are emotionally laden and have a way of weighing heavily on one's heart. Unfortunately putting of making decisions does not work in the long run. The issues do not go away, because it is only a delay. Only coming to a resolution does this!
Is it being cowardly when not wanting to face the reality of choosing one way or other?
Have you heard friends or family say that, "even though it was a hard choice to make and after a long and hard period of reflection we are so happy that we did it. We wonder why it was so hard and now we berate ourselves for not making it earlier."
It is such a human trait and it is about letting go of the familiar, of something we love, of saying goodbye. Shifting house is like this, knowing that it is going to take place and wanting it to happen but very sad at leaving a community of good friends. Leaving a happy workplace for a career move is another. You know it is going to be good in the long run, it is so hard to let go and say goodbye.
Whatever the unique decision one has to make it seems that "looking back and looking forward" is the obligatory road to travel before walking through the door!

Cheers and Blessings
