How do you know if your barometer for making a decision is always right?
When it comes to work, or any life situation, we’re always taught to persevere, stick it out, and see it through to the other side.
But how long does persevere last – and how long before that mentality can do unnecessary damage to your own mental health.
I always thought it was a complicated subject matter – situation dependent – and one which requires taking lots of variables into account. Maybe even a pros and cons list.
But actually the answer isn’t complicated. As long as you have pillars.
If you have a plan, goal, objective – a clear vision of what you want for yourself then surely that’s the answer to any crossroad situation.
Where will I be in 5 years – what are my pillars – my core non negotiables. These are the factors that give you an answer.
Does the situation I’m in help to amplify where I want to go – or is it pushing me down the wrong path. Does the situation go against my pillars?
If it does go against your core values, or doesn’t help to add value to your long term goals then you have your answer.
This also takes you out of a limbo situation. Or indecision purgatory.
I made the best decision based on my core beliefs, pillars and future goals. The confidence that comes with that is so valuable.
