There are many decisions I have made that were difficult. The decisions that I have made that were important and difficult were never easily reached. They took a lot of time and consideration and during the time it took make to me them I stressed myself out quite a lot. One of the more recent decisions I had to make was whether or not to keep my second job while going through school. Unfortunately I had to turn in my two weeks’ notice to my second job.
Throughout the whole time it took me to make that decision I put myself through unbelievable amounts of stress because my intentions when I had applied for the job was definitely not to leave as soon as I did. I was fortunate enough to be told that I always had a place at my other job if I were to ever want to come back. This in turn made me realize that I never should have stressed as much as I did because either way it had to be done. I’m glad to say that not only do I have a job to go back to but I learned a very important lesson; never stress out about the inevitable.
After going through this decision I was extremely relieved and started to think about other decisions I had made that had been difficult and I came to the conclusion that I had always made the same mistake. Obviously every important decision that is important takes a lot of time to make but it should never take that much stress, if you know you have to do it then why freak out about it so much and in turn make every other aspect of your day so hard to get through? I now feel really silly that I was always so worried because every time I had to make a decision it turned out just fine and in my favor. I have never once regretted one of those decisions other than the process I used to reach a conclusion.
After thinking thoroughly about all of this, my decisions, the stress and of course the outcomes I no longer feel the need to say that they were very difficult to make because the only difficult thing about them had been dealing with the stress. I always knew what I had to do it was just about carrying them out, I always felt like I had to let someone down. Not only do I need to follow my own advice, but I need to do things for me. When I realized that I needed to leave my second job, it had nothing to do with anyone else but myself and I looked out for my own interests because deep down we all have ourselves put first somewhat. My schooling needed to come first and that was in my best interests. So of course, I left Family Video and the friends that I had made in the meantime but I have never regret my decision to leave.

I sometimes use a coin to make a choice if its difficult or if im unsure
