I thing taking decisions in life is by far the most painful process humans have to undergo. You may say I´m being rather pessimistic about this issue, after all, it´s better to take a decision yourself rather than being impossed what to do.
What I mean is that we cannot avoid experiencing a sense of responsibility in any decision we take. No matter how hard you try to foresee what can happen if you take one course of an action or another, but in the end you deeply inside know you cannot anticipate so much because you never know what impact it can cause. The umpredicable nature of possiblilites provokes the inevitable anguish of not really knowing what will happen.
One always boasts about the decisions that caused a good result, but we never dare say a word if the result was not what we had expected. I´ve always wondered if this is in the human nature or if it´s just me who find it so difficult to assume responsibility for what I did not intend to happen, although I definitely know taking decisions means making use of our freedom.

True words indeed, Miriam! (IMHO, that is!). Oddly enough, don't you also feel those moments at which we take difficult decisions are also those at which we are really alive???
Like you, I also find most people try not to publicly accept responsibility for unexpected consequences of their choices (no matter how predictable such effects may have seemed in other people's eyes!)... On the other hand, don't you know many who keep blaming themselves for things that were beyond their hands? Weird world!
Enjoy your freedom (and the responsibility it brings!)!!!
LOL,

Yes! I feel I´m alive, but, at the same time, I can´t help being anxious. I guess it´s because I´ve always been taught to be extremely responsible. Sometimes, I think I need to slow down and think with my heart!

In my case, the challenge is to learn and live with imperfection!,-)
Big hug,

You are asking something that I already know but that is not always so easy to digest!

Apologies for insisting on something you knew quite well, Miriam!
