Everybody has one.
And a 2021 study found that having a why behind a major life decision or change that you can put into a single statement and point to and say, this is why I'm doing this.
It greatly impacts your follow through, greatly impacts your perseverance, your success.
And remind yourself like,
you're not without backup options.
You've already done plan B. Like a lot of people go in with plan A and don't have plan B sorted out.
You've done plan B. You went back to front.
There is no like issue in that you can eventually return to that job that you're going to leave.
That's always going to be there.
You've done the training.
You've got the, you've done the degree.
You've got the work experience.
Like you are in a better position than many to now take a risk
because you do have fallback.
I also think we need to be aware of like a lot of the time, the judgment that we think or know will come from other people is really just desire that they have that can't be expressed.
They are looking at your choice, your decision, and it's easier to say that's going to fail or to say, what are they thinking?
Then to acknowledge what this person is really thinking deep down, which is that why didn't I have the guts to do that?
And the fear that maybe it will end up turning out really well for you and they're going to have to face the fact that it could have turned out really well for them as well.
So just be conscious of why and how other people's opinions about your choices is probably more of a reflection of them than of you.
Next is the practicality problem.
