From now on, let’s call this collection of people your “itty-bitty icky committee.” I know some of you are already replacing ‘icky’ with another word – go ahead. It’s ok. These are the people that spew ick on everything you do and try to make you feel like a jerk when you call them out on their bad behavior.
When you’re making an important life decision, it’s natural to feel a bit confused or overwhelmed. You may bring in others in the hopes that they’ll guide you into making the best decision. Often, this is driven by a need for approval and a lack of confidence in yourself.
But everything you already need to make the right decision—the best decision for you—is within yourself. You know what you need. You know what option falls in line with your values. You know what will ultimately make you happiest.
Saying you don’t have regrets is avoiding the truth. The truth is that all of us have, at one time or another in our lives, said or done something, that was wrong, hurtful, or dangerous. So, why do we have a hard time admitting that we have regrets? Likely, it’s because we perceive admitting regrets as admitting failures. And worse, personal failures. Personal flaws.
The truth is, that I worked myself to the point of exhaustion whereas Tiffani, who isn’t much older than my son, knew how to create boundaries and more importantly, kept them.A couple of years later, all the extra hours I put in didn’t matter. I was being terminated – wrongfully, after being a whistleblower. I even ended up on the front page of the New York Times on New Year’s Day 2018. It was then, that I realized that Tiffani had the right idea.
