Take Time To Think

I’m going to get straight to the point.

Every decision you make alters the rest of your life.

Some of those decisions are small and easy in the grand scheme of things:

Do you want fries with that? YES!

Some of those decisions are life changing and hard:

                Is this the person I should be with the rest of my life?

The fact of the matter is that the hard decisions in life are the ones that truly shape who you are, who you want to be, and who you will become as an individual.

I don’t have any fancy life hacks on how to make tough decisions. But I can tell you that in today’s world things are moving at 1 million miles per hour and you need to allocate time to think. And I mean really think.

When was the last time you just sat and thought without distraction? We constantly have our faces in our phones. We’re checking our texts, refreshing Instagram, seeing how many Retweets we got, asking how come no one liked my Facebook post, and waiting to see what YouTube recommends we watch next.

Please take the time to be alone with your thoughts.

Leave your precious phone at home and go for a walk outside. Clear you mind and think about the important things in life. These are the things that will forever change your life. Think things through and make the best possible decision you can. Of course, you can get input from others in your decision, but so often these days people just wing their decision making because they’re so busy and need to get on to the next thing.

Take time to think about your life, values, career, and family.

I’m not going to say deciding to have a Child is the most important decision in your life, but it’s certainly something to think through.

I’m also not going to tell you whether you should have a Child or not, that’s for you to decide.

Don’t have a Child because society says you should. Don’t let the financial impact of having a Child make you not have a Child if you truly want one and will be a good parent.

All I ask is that you take some time to think about the important decisions in life. One of those decisions happens to be whether you have a Child or not. It’s a decision that will significantly impact the rest of your life. You better make sure it’s a decision you’ve thought through.

Now go think.
