How to Make Good Choices
October 19, 2021
We all make mistakes. We all decide that some days are worth the risks. How do we determine what's a good risk vs a bad one?
Unfortunately, it's not always 100% guaranteed but here's a way to get it right more often. Either that or wrong with happier results.
What's your dream life? What is your ideal? Is it to be healthy, happy, financially secure, have a lot of free time, and be surrounded by people you love? I feel like that's a pretty basic dream for many people so let's go off of those.
To be healthy:
Being healthy, preventing sickness, and being the best version of yourself mentally are all in how you treat your body. "Should I go to the gym today?" - the good choice is NO if you have gone 5-6 days in a row. You're not helping your body to recover. The answer is YES if you haven't gone in a few days. Should I eat these Oreos? 100% if you're A. hungry B. Have fueled your body with other fueling nutrients that day (80/20) and C. it would make you smile.
To be happy financially secure, and have a lot of free time:
You better pick a great job. A lot of people get in a rut of ego. "I have to make x amount of money". My question to you is - why or why can't you get x amount of money doing what you love or even like? What is more important at the end of the day? Time at the office or time with your friends/family. If you're miserable and scared to start on a new venture ask yourself this. What is the worst possible case scenario and what are your fallbacks/what would you do if it didn't work out? Would you be miserable if you never took the chance? You have your answer.
Surrounded by people you love: The good choice in this is knowing when to leave AND knowing when to approach. Should I ask this guy for his number or go up and talk to him? This is almost always 100% yes unless there are obvious red flags. What's the worst that could happen? He says no and laughs in your face? Puts more on his character than yours. You then dodged a bullet babe. Knowing when to leave is knowing that you give them as much as they give you and vice versa. They make you happy MOST of the time. You can't love someone who gives you nothing emotionally. You love the idea of them or you have a subconscious ego that, makes you think, "why they don't like me and treat me right, I'm going to get them to/change them".
