Honor Your Decisions Day 5: Pressures Reveal Commitment

“Consistency is confidence in motion.”

When decisions are made, and there is very little to no contradiction, it is easy to stand by your decision.    Are you someone who believes in your strength to decide on what matters and then stand by it?  Or someone who feels the first bit of discomfort from an opposing opinion, and you feel unworthy and insufficient?  You feel like your voice is not loud enough or educated enough to be worthy of an opinion.

​Pressure reveals whether or not your decision was real.  When others question you, doubt you, or challenge your resolve, it’s an opportunity to reinforce your commitment to fall to someone else’s.  You don’t need to explain every decision.  You don’t need their approval.  Someone else’s life direction is not your path, and the two paths never need to parallel one another.  Quiet consistency speaks louder than any defense.  Someone may very well look at you and say, ‘Who are you to say?’  Don’t fall into it.  I don’t need to defend myself when my morals and ethics are perfectly fine.  Stay steady and know I am an individual who possesses the power to agree or disagree without being judged.  I can make decisions without guilt or disgrace.  I can reeducate myself without being led by others.  Let your time and discipline do the talking.  Honor your decisions by standing firm without aggression or apology.
