Default Difficult decisions

Last night I had to make a very difficult decision that hurt someone who means the world to me. It was the right decision but hurt badly. My question is, "Why are the right decisions sometimes the hardest?"

In my personal experience those are the times when I grow and stretch as a person, and then I can be wiser in the future, because I have something to reflect back on.. It isn't easy that's for sure. And depending on what it is, it also makes you more aware who your true friends are.

Hope it gets better, Buddy.

I believe they are the hardest because they force us out of our comfort zone. They make us face some truths about situations that we have been in denial about. Things that we just didn't want to bring to the forefront so we just tuck them away. You have people that have a high threshold and try hold things to themselves for years and then you have others that only can tolerate it for short amounts of time...but whenever it comes out its never easy.

I pray that you have clarity and strength in this situation.

Cause they just are. If you know in your heart that it's the RIGHT decision for you and you alone.....then you have to do it, FOR YOU and no one else. I know that you are hurting now, but it will get easier as the days go on. A lot of us know exactly where you are (I for one do).

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Default I am so sorry....

Difficult decisions are that for a reason, they are difficult.

Sometimes they have to be made for very specific reasons, and the best of people will be there to support you through that even if it is the toughest thing for them to do and they should be willing to help you in any way that they can.

Hold true to your heart and yourself for you are a great person, and that is what we all adore about you.

HUGE HUGS in your time of need.
