Making The Wrong Choice

 When you’re working to achieve your goals, you want to feel like you’re making the right choices.  You want to feel certain that the choices, actions, and decisions you’re making are actually moving you forward to achieve your goals faster.  You don’t want to choose wrong and experience an obstacle that sets you back or slows you down.  You want the fastest, straightest route to achieving your goals.  However, life doesn’t always go that smoothly.  You’ll still encounter obstacles no matter how much you prepare.  But, those obstacles are detours in the right direction.  It’s not because you made the wrong choice.  It’s because you were meant to learn something.

Right Choice

You will not always feel like you made the right choice in life.  You will not always choose the path of least resistance that leads directly to achieving your goals.  Often, this path is full of twists and turns that you never saw coming.  You try and avoid making the wrong choice.  However, the fear of choosing wrong can keep you stuck in your comfort zone.  Instead, you choose not to make a decision because it’s far easier than facing the fear of making the wrong choice.  But, you can’t expect to achieve your goals if you never make the decisions necessary to take action to achieve your goals.  You have to make the right choice which is any choice that gets you into action to achieve your goals.

Never Give Up

You make the best choices you can with the information you currently have.  If it doesn’t work out, then you learned a lesson that wasn’t the solution.  You make adjustments, pivot, and keep trying.  You don’t give up just because it didn’t work out the first time.  A wrong choice doesn’t mean that you’ll never achieve your goals.  It’s not a sign that you’re on the wrong path.  You have what it takes to achieve your goals.  Achieving your goals is going to happen with perseverance to overcome the obstacles and get through some “wrong” choices.

Detours

The truth is, you never made the wrong choice.  You were never on the wrong path.  Not everything you label as an obstacle, challenge, mistake, or failure is actually a setback.  It’s a detour.  A detour redirects you and is guiding you on your journey.  The things you are identifying as wrong in your life are actually still guiding you forward in ways you just can’t see.  These things give you something that you wouldn’t have received if you would have taken another route.  You were meant to walk on this path for a reason.  It’s not the wrong choice, decision, or path.  It’s a detour in the right direction.

Life Lessons

These detours are lessons in personal growth.  You learn more about yourself, the world, and other people, etc.  All because you took this path instead.  Sometimes these are small lessons in personal growth.  But, each one is necessary for your own evolution and personal development in life.  These life lessons will help you when you experience future obstacles.  It helps you learn, grow, and become better than you were yesterday.

Do not be afraid of making the wrong choice.  Make the best decision you can with the information you have right now.  Whatever you thought went wrong in the past actually went right.  You are never on the wrong path.  The path is always leading you forward.  Whether that’s learning a lesson in personal growth or actually making the progress you want towards your goals.  It is all guiding you to where you are meant to be life and ultimately to become the person you are meant to be too.  All of your choices are leading you down the path towards the life you were meant to live so choose wisely and do not be afraid of making the wrong choice.  There are never wrong choices when you can choose again with you new knowledge and knowhow.
