My new boss, Jersey, (who by the way is officially my boss as of today, it was announced to the Firm) loaned me a great book today. (See link.)
It's all about the power of personal choice, setting realistic expectations, knowing who you are and what you want (and don't want) out of life.
Reality, drama, truth, the importance of accepting and feeling your emotions and...breathing.
All things that I buy into and have wrote about on this blog, but recounted oh, so much more eloquently. If you pick it up and have a read, you will not be disappointed.
Once we become brave enough to make our own choices (not those dictated to us by others), it's important to accept the implications that come with choosing. That whatever choice we make, we are comfortable with it. You know what you will lose and what it will cost.
I think I did that when I walked away from my past life, but no matter how hard you try to count the cost of a choice, sometimes it will be harder than you ever imagined. But to me, that is better than living a life of mediocracy, feeling sorry for ourselves that we don't have what we want, but part of the reason (or maybe the whole reason) is that we just won't even try to go for it.
Being true to ourselves means we are honest about what we want, we push ourselves outside our comfort and go for it. Even though our choices are always only ever half-chance, just like everyone else's.
At the end of the day, we shouldn't congratulate ourselves too much or berate ourselves too much either. Listening to that voice inside of us and doing what we need to do will bring less regrets in the end, than if we had never tried at all.
And you never know, maybe we'll end up being able to spend our lives doing what we'd rather be doing. :)
