What makes us follow one path and not another? Probably in many cases we do not even know it, just a bunch of coincidences, of which we are not even aware. It is when we put ourselves to meditate on the options that we have before when the doubt arises and we have to start up all the mechanisms of valuation of options.
In order to be prepared for these situations it is important to do a previous work of maturation to establish the basic goals and objectives for us, which are what give meaning to life. It is evident that many people simply let themselves be dragged by the current, undoubtedly it is more comfortable, there is no need to think, but there comes a point when they find themselves in a situation where everything is meaningless and disconnected. The fear of making mistakes does not act, which neither learn nor advance and spend the days "ruminating" the possibilities and drowning in the sea of doubt.
Our wisdom grows with our experience, that is something unanswerable, with each new experience we acquire different information, if we avoid living, which is the same as avoiding making decisions, maybe we will not make mistakes, of course, but of course our life will be empty content and full of errors of omission, and we will wander the world at the mercy of insignificant events or other people who decide for us, maybe they know better what we want!
We learn from our failures, but also from our successes, if we can attribute them we will add positive value to our person and that will make us mature, trust more in ourselves and the next crossroads will seem less complicated, we will be safer, more prepared, advancing always looking to the front and taking steps more and more sure and happy.
