When to Endure? When to Be Free?

There are so many people, places, objects, hopes, and dreams in my life that I hold dear to my heart. I believe that I do my best to protect all of these things and fulfill every goal that I set for myself. Whether it has to do with school, my relationship, my financial obligations, or just personal goals, I make every effort to insure that everything goes well. But More often then not I come across dilemmas that make me question if only one, or all of these things are worth putting energy into. For a long time I have wanted to understand when to endure a situation or free myself from it. This question is something that I had struggled with for a while, just because I've always had a conflicting battle between being rational and striving to make dreams come true. I didn't know if being realistic about the situations was the answer or just an excuse not to keep chasing something that showed only possibilities. I didn't know if having desires was the true dynamo that would lead me to a commitment or was just simply my downfall. Don't get me wrong, in certain situations I do believe the best way to move on is to be realistic. Based on what has happened, things that has occurred that made me debate between the two, how I felt at the time, and what would be the good and the bad from both points of view. On the other hand, sometimes I am encouraged by hopes that I have for myself, the thought of defying the odds really motivates me at times, and is something I use often if I truly feel that it can be done. I had always gone back and forth between the two, and because of this I've learned to look at these circumstances and ask myself if it really mattered? the most important thing would be that a choice was going to be made and I believed in it. Overtime I have noticed that understanding who I am can get me through anything, especially figuring out when to cut lose or to hang on to a quandary. Understanding the type of person I am helps me realize who I want be, what career I want to pursue, what type of person I want a relationship with, and what I am capable of achieving. Understanding who I am gives me the ability to perceive what is most important, what benefits me, what will lift me up, and most importantly what I will not let weight me down. I've come to the conclusion that hanging on and letting go is apart of the journey of many decisions that I will go through to better myself for myself. Whether or not I make the right choices all depends on how I feel and if I am making the decisions for me.

The more indecisive you are, the less productive you will be. Make a choice, believe in it, and believe in yourself - Don
