Experience

When we make a decision we subconsciously think about the pros and the cons. We wonder what the outcome or consequence of that particular decision will be, and if it is worth it after all is said and done.

Why can’t we just forget about the consequences and live vicariously through the pros of every decision? Why can we not accept that the cons that follow a decision are based on what we believe to be a con? What exactly is it that makes us so worried about the outcome of those decisions?

We have been constructed to worry, and most importantly, to worry about what other people may think. When we think about our decisions before we make them, we do not only think about them on behalf of ourselves, but on behalf of our friendly ‘click’ as well.

We are all targets for criticism, and when criticism comes into play we automatically do everything we can to avoid it. We do not want people commenting on our lifestyles or life decisions because somewhere inside of us, we want acceptance, and never, do we want to be judged.

We all make mistakes, and at the time we don’t know it - but that one mistake is worth making so that you can learn from it. It is not up to anyone else to make your decisions, so make them and don’t worry about the consequences.

You will only experience a mistake once - Twice if you liked it.
