Let's get this straight, you can't go around trying to please everyone, you have to do what is best for you and the situation that you are in. The people who truly care about you won't be upset with you for doing what is best for yourself. They will understand.
There are times where you have to make a tough call, and hope that the people around you will understand, or maybe even realize and be thankful for the decision that you made later on.
I have had a couple of conversations with some friends who are such amazing examples to me. I go to them for advice and they are more than willing to open up and talk to me about tough decisions that they have had to make.
I have a friend who, recently, has become one of my very very best friends. She is one of the greatest examples to me. We have conversations that we don't really feel comfortable talking with anyone else about (except our parents), and they have so greatly helped me. She has talked to me about many things and decisions that she has recently made and her strength and drive amazes me. She is extremely dedicated and knows what she wants.
The advice that I have received recently from some of her personal life experiences has made me realize that she truly knows if she does what is best for her, she is able to do so because she realizes that that is what is best for her and her situation. She is able to realize that sometimes you have to put your decisions and situations before what others think because in the end, your life and the way you run your life and the decisions you make have nothing to do with most of the people's lives who have an opinion about yours.
Her strength has helped me to make some tough decisions, but I am so so thankful for that. I know that the right choice was made, and in due time, I will be able to appreciate it. I am so so thankful for her and her being able to show me and push me to be able to listen and follow what I feel is right in my heart and hear what I need to hear.
Being able to realize what you need to do is a big step, but being able to actually follow through with what you think you need to do is an even bigger step.When you make a (good) decision and follow through with it, it is will make your life better.
Not only do decisions make life hard, but so does finding people who will support and understand you. It is important to find your people, and surround yourself with them. You need to surround yourself with the people who will support you and be there for you and not tear you down because you make a decision that wasn't their opinion or what they wanted you to do. Life is hard. Why make it any harder by surrounding yourself around those who are negative and unsupported?
Just think about your life, and realize that you are here to make yourself happy and feel at peace, not anyone else.
It is so important to look at your life, look at your accomplishments, look at the people you love, and realize that you have done so many amazing things! The truth is, every single one of us have done such amazing things in our lives, it just take the right pair of glasses to see that in ourselves and recognize it. Be proud of yourself, and let those around you be proud of you too!
Love,
