Sometimes we are faced with risky and uncertain decisions, without knowing what the final outcome will be.
It is impossible to know which way the balance will tip, or even which is the best option. Nevertheless, we must make a decision, either to act or to stand idly by.
And sometimes even inaction can be a valid choice.
So what to do? There is no easy answer.
But there is something we all need to hear at times like this:
I love you no matter what.
True love is the one that does not depend on external factors, that does not demand anything in return.
Unconditional love is one that accepts the other person as he or she is, that supports and encourages him or her, without judging his or her decisions or performance. It is the kind of love we all need to have in our lives, especially when we are at a crossroads.
I am here for you
Knowing that someone is there for us when we need them is one of the greatest blessings we can have.
Whether it is to offer a word of encouragement or to lend us practical help, just knowing that we are not alone is comforting.
In times of uncertainty, having someone to rely on can make all the difference.
Try
Sometimes, the only way forward is to take risks.
Every time we try, even if the outcome is not what we expected, we learn something new, we grow and we get a little closer to our goals.
That's why taking that first step, stepping out of the comfort zone and facing fear is fundamental to our personal growth.
Do what you think is right
There is not always one right answer.
What works well for one may not be best for another.
Therefore, we must take the time to think about what is important to us, our values and expectations, and choose accordingly.
Sometimes, making a decision means going against the opinion of others, but if it's what we believe is right, we should go ahead.
Trust your instincts
Although logic is important, sometimes our instinct is what tells us which way to go.
Listening to that inner voice that guides us is critical to making wise decisions.
Sometimes there is not enough information available, or the options are equally valid.
In those cases, trusting our instinct may be the best option.
What kind of help do you need from me?
This question goes far beyond the typical "How can I help you?" question.
It is about recognizing that as you make changes and move forward, you may need the help of a helping hand.
A supportive friend who offers help before you need it understands that you are not alone in this process.
It's about understanding that you may need support in your endeavor, and that is their contribution to you.
I don't have better advice
It's encouraging to know that you're not just gathering information to figure out how to move forward.
It's humbling to recognize that others have the confidence to admit they don't know more information. So, maybe you are more knowledgeable, but you'll never know for sure until you try.
I think it's silly, but do it anyway.
Because who knows how things will turn out? What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.
Different people have varying opinions and beliefs.
Some are risk-takers, while others are more cautious.
Some adhere to limiting beliefs such as "I can't do it," "No one has ever succeeded," "I know I will fail," or "I have never succeeded at difficult things," among others.
What I think has no bearing on you.
Maybe my advice is not the right advice for you.
You may never even have asked for my opinion, but I still want to impress you.
It's important to accept that people have diverse opinions and focus on what you think is optimal for yourself.
Just breathe and move on
It's great to have someone to remind you that the first thing is to relax, focus on what you need to do, and then do it anyway.
Breathe in strength, breathe out worry.
Breathe in confidence, breathe out doubt.
Yes, you can do it!
The sky is the limit
Many people associate risk-taking with danger or sheer stupidity, but it is inescapable to think and act differently than you are used to in order to achieve success.
It's about reframing risky decisions as opportunities for success, rather than sentencing them to failure.
Do your homework, plan, follow your plan and, above all, have faith in yourself.
