“Do unto yourself what you would do for your best friend” - Megan Valente the Great
A lot of the time, I can be the queen of indecision and backsliding, neither of which are good things. When it comes to my personal life, I realized that if I can’t see what is directly in my future, I have a hard time believing that something good is there and end up falling back onto what feels comfortable, even if it’s not actually good for me.
So for all of you that aren’t reaching your maximum potential because you are scared or unsure, here is something to think about before you make an important decision:
Picture your best friend. Not who you just became close with recently, but your best friend that knows all the bad stuff and still loves you anyway. Okay, now take whatever situation you’re in, and make it theirs. If your best friend called you crying about the problems that you’re stressing over right now, whether it be a guy/girl, feeling hopeless in their career path, or overwhelmed in school, what would you say to them?
If mine expressed even the slightest bit of doubt, I’d laugh and tell her to forget it, because she has much more to offer the that situation she feels stuck in does.
But then I realized that I don’t do that for myself.
I find myself making excuses for the actions of others constantly. I like to justify it because it’s more convenient for me and makes things easier. But if my best friend called me crying about the same things I call her with, I’d drop what I was doing and drive 7 hours to her to smack her and then drag her sorry butt out of the house for some hardcore TLC so she realizes how great she is.
Now it is time that you treat yourself the same way. If you’re unhappy, you’re only holding yourself back…so here’s how you make a good decision:
Your best friend calls you crying, what do you tell them?
