How To Know If The Goal Is Worth Pursuing - The Simple Way To Determine If You're On The Right Path... Or If You Should Consider A Change

It is Completely Normal to have Doubts.

No Matter What Path You Take in Life, You will Experience Doubt.

Whether You're on the "Right" or the "Wrong" Path will Not Change this Reality.

It is simply a part of being Human.

But here is the Real Challenge that We Face when we Experience the Doubt...

Is the Doubt Right?

This is the Crux, what Weighs Heaviest, on Our Mind when Doubt Strikes.

Could We Be On The Wrong Path?

Should We Give Up?

Or Do We Continue Forth?

The Struggle is Determining Whether We Should or Should Not Listen to the Voice of Doubt.

Especially when We Hear Other Voices Around Us who "Push" Us in One Direction or Another...

Family Might Encourage Us to Give Up and Pursue Safety...

Their Hope is You Do Not Become Crushed.

An Influencer Might Tell You To Push Forward and Never Give In...

Their Hope is that You Continue to Listen to them in Doubt "Regardless" of the Whether the Outcome Harms You or Not.

But here's the Problem...

Usually these Voices Fail to Truly Understand "You".

They are Looking at Life from "Their" Perspective and Telling You How "You" Should Live Your Life...

Based on "Them".

This is Nearly Always a Recipe for Disaster.

I can Tell You that I am "Not" Here to Make a Decision "For" You.

I Cannot Pretend to Know the Circumstances that You Currently Find Yourself In.

Morally it is Selfish for Anyone to "Assume" What the Answer Should be for Someone Else.

So I Will Not Tell You Whether Your Doubt is Right or Wrong...

I Do Not Know Enough About Your Life and Struggles to Tell You This.

But this is what I "Can" Do...

I Can Give You a Test which Will Allow You to Determine for Yourself Whether the Doubt is Right or Wrong.

The Reality is that there "Are" Some Situations where Doubt can be Tremendously Helpful...

And Other Situations where Doubt Blocks Us from Our Potential.

All Emotions...

Including Doubt...

Have a Purpose.

But What is Important is "What" is that Purpose "Now"?

So, what is the Test?

Think about the Goal You are Headed Toward...

Think about it Deeply and What You're Doing to Attain that Goal...

Think About All the Good...

Think About All the Bad...

Think about The Path that You've Been Pursuing...

Now Imagine This...

You're Dead.

Right Now, You've Died and "This" Path is As Far as You Ever Get...

Here's the Question...

Was It Worth It?

If You Had "No" Opportunities Left...

Would You Be Happy with Where You Are?

I have been Struck with Doubts Along the Way as Well...

I Know How Difficult it can Feel...

The Pain...

The Hardships...

The Struggles...

But as I Think about it...

If I Died Right Now?

I Would Not Change Anything.

I Believe that Deep in My Core that Everything Up to Now has Been Worth It.

That "This" Path, for Me, "Is" Worth It.

My Doubts Notify Me that there are Real Barriers that I am Discovering How to Overcome...

But the Doubts Today, for Me, are Not Telling Me to "Stop" Going on This Path.

Yet, in the Past I "Have" had Doubts that Told Me that I Needed to Change My Life and Career.

The Doubt During those Times Filled me with Deep Regret, that "If" I Died in those Moments, I would have Regretted My Life.

I Changed My Life, and I am Better for It.

I've Experienced Both Ends of this Spectrum, and Both are Normal to Experience.

Whichever You Find Yourself at Today?

Know that it is Ok.

If You Died Today...

And You Discover that You'd Regret the Path You're On Today?

That is Ok, and You are Actually Still Alive.

You are Blessed to Be Able to Decided on Beginning a New Path, Even if it is a Slow Change.

If You Died Today...

And You Discover that You Would Not Regret the Path You're On Today?

That is Ok, and Doubt Here is Normal as Well.

Learn to Understand What the Doubt is Trying to Help You With so that You Stay On the Path.

In Either Case, Know that You're Human and this Doubt is Something We All Experience in Life.
