3 Days

Let's Talk 3Days....
I was raised and always taught, when making a decision about something important, wait 3 days. If I am rushed into a decision that I need to know right at that very moment, my answer is always No. Wait 3 days. It gives you time to process it rationally and emotionally with out force. Even if you are having a bad day or going through a bad time and you just want to give up. Wait 3 days. Your outlook can and usually does totally change after 3 days. This teaching started with my religious upbringing. My dad would say to me, Jesus had the worse day of His life on Friday, but Sunday, 3 days later, He made history. 2000 years later we are still talking about it.
And I must admit, it has always worked for me, even in the very tough times. Or shall I say especially in the tough times. This even works with simple decisions that you really just don't know what to do. I'm not saying constantly think about it for 3 days. I am saying just ask, what shall I do and let it go. The answer will come and be made very clear. You will either see signs or just feel differently about the whole thing. You will be able to make the decision in peace instead of stress.  So, if you are feeling indecisive, pressured, down, frustrated or frightened......Wait 3 Days.

Support

Let's Talk Support....

Many people say to each other, “I will support you, no matter what the decision is that you make”. Sometimes it is said, because they can be there for you 100% and be with you through it all. And sometimes it is said because they just want to be liked and really have no care in the out come. They want to tell you what you want to hear.

Then there are people who can't say it at all. Don't take this personally. Because maybe, just maybe, it's not about you, it's about them. Just because you are strong and ready to make a life changing decision, doesn't mean everyone else is ready to handle it. Every decision you make, affects those around you. They know what they can handle and what they can approve of in their life. Maybe they are traveling a different path then you all together. Or, maybe they perceive a different out come for you and they don't want to be apart of it.

I personally think some people get a bad rap for being labeled “not supportive”. Maybe they are having a hard time supporting themselves and they just can't take on any more. It is great and wonderful to be supported in all your decisions and that you have strong people around you. However, if you don't, it's ok. “I can't support you or your decision” IS NOT “I don't love you”. It sometimes means.. “ I love you so much, I don't want you hurt, because I can't handle that.”
