Have you ever found yourself caught in the grip of fear when faced with a decision? That feeling of uncertainty that leaves your mind clouded and your thoughts tangled? Trust me, I've been there too, and I know exactly what it's like.

You see, I was sailing through a storm of confusion and sadness not too long ago. Every decision I needed to make seemed wrapped in a shroud of doubt, and the weight of it all was suffocating. The worst part? I didn't realize that my indecisiveness was blocking the path to my own peace.

Let me walk you through it.

Lately, I've been grappling with an overwhelming sense of confusion. Tears would spill at the slightest provocation, and while I gave myself the space to feel, I was also cautious of the creeping shadows of depression. My productivity plummeted. Concentration was a distant memory. Hours would pass as I stared at my to-do list with nothing to show for it. The grip of frustration and sadness was relentless, and I was desperate for a way out.

But then, a glimmer of light pierced through the darkness. I stumbled upon a video about weight loss for those over 50. Oddly enough, it had nothing to do with my emotional state, yet as I listened, I wrote down these words on the tablet beside me: "I Decided I'm Tired of Being Sad."

Can you believe it? In that moment, something shifted within me. I made a conscious choice to bid farewell to sadness.

Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't feeling sad a part of life?" You're right, but this sadness was different – it was a companion I'd carried since childhood. Those words I wrote,  broke the chains that held me captive. Growing up in a home colored by sorrow, joy, and happiness was like a foreign language. But when I declared that I was done with being sad, I was really saying, "I won't let this be my forever."

And let me tell you, that decision was a game-changer. Suddenly, the fog that had clouded my mind for months lifted, replaced by clarity I hadn't felt in ages. It was as if I'd been missing a vital piece of the puzzle, and by deciding what I didn't want, I uncovered the peace and clarity I'd been desperately seeking.

You might relate – maybe there's an area in your life where the path seems muddled. But here's the thing: your power lies in your choices. What's holding you back might not be a person, but a decision waiting to be made.  By letting go of what no longer serves you, you create space for what you truly desire.

This journey isn't about anyone else; it's about you. It's about acknowledging the burdens you've carried and daring to shed them. Just like sadness was my longtime companion, there might be something you've unknowingly clung to, but it's time to say, "Enough."

I broke free, and you can too.

•         So, where are you struggling to find clarity?
•         What's that thing you're ready to let go of?

Remember, choosing to release what no longer resonates with you isn't just a step; it's a leap toward the peace and clarity you've been praying for.

You hold the power to decide. Take a moment to assess where you are and where you want to be. That obstacle? It might just be a decision away from vanishing. And trust me, the moment you break those chains, you'll stand amazed at the person you're becoming.

Remember, you're not alone on this journey. I'm here, rooting for you.
