Transition Two

I continuously find myself regretting decisions I’ve made in the past and losing trust in myself for making decisions in the future. We all have pressure in our lives to making quick and effective decisions that will ultimately leave us satisfied. I ask you, how often do you find yourself satisfied over the decisions you make? For me, more often than not, I find myself regretting those decisions and thinking about what I should have done. Even the simplest decision can bring about huge regret.
Why is it that people get frustrated with you because it takes you much longer than expected to make your decision. I guess the difference between me and them is that I lose trust in myself much more easily. When you live a life where your most important people are there to point out your most positive attributes and deepest faults, it puts much more pressure on the decisions you make and the actions you take. We want to make these people happy; we want them to put the deepest faults away and make those positive attributes stick out. The only way to do that is to impress them with making the right decisions, even though they may not benefit you, but them.
Why do we continuously beat ourselves up over our faults; regretting the things we’ve done or those we should have done. We go through life making decisions, wasting time over which decision to make; a good one or a bad one. After we’ve come up with our best decision at the time, we question ourselves and even regret the decisions we’ve made. Why? Because we want to impress the people we love.

Darling - I love you, for starters.

We make decisions because we value choice. Who we choose to impress or satisfy, is not a decision we like making.
