Our journey in life is about making decisions and choices and acting on them. Sometimes, making a major breakthrough in life could mean making a choice we've never made before. It could mean taking a decision we’ve long thought we could never make. It could mean doing something totally new to our existing way of life without compromising our core values. It could mean making difficult and sometimes painful decisions. It could mean not having to worry about living up to the expectation of anyone else. It could even mean resisting any attempt to defend or explain your decision to anybody. Some decisions are such that the more you try to explain to the people you consider being in the circle of your support, the more you are likely to bring pain on yourself. People often find themselves in this type of situation when they are trying to make major decision to initiate divorce proceedings. This is when they need to go inside their inner private empty space to seek guidance and help. You can reach the space through silence. In silence, you ask yourself the following questions:
- Before this relationship started, what was I looking for in a relationship?
- Since I have been in this relationship, what have I got?
- Is there any disconnect between what I wanted and what I got?
- In the light of what I have seen and got in this relationship, what do I now want in future relationships?
You will get the answers you want to each of these questions when you listen to either your heart or your brain. In the past, you may have been listening to one more than the other. In life, you may need other people’s advice to tell you want you do not want, but no one can tell you want you want in life. It is your job. There lies the hard bit.
