The Struggle for Why

Today's blog is more of a rant on myself moreso than anything else. As of late I've been questioning why I do certain things and trying to justify all the decisions I make in my life. Sometimes I search for the answers to why internally or I seek the advice and opinions of others. It's as if I have to convince myself beyond a shadow of doubt that whatever decision I am about to make is the right one. However, I have come to realize that is one of my problems.
Too often I search for the reasons in everything I do.

I came to that conclusion while talking to my former boss Rob today. He told me that I stress myself out searching for the right reasons instead of just acting on what I feel is best for me at the time. Now I may not know if it is actually best for me until after the fact, but it's worth trying. Is it wrong that I plan out my actions so meticulously before I act upon them or should I be less hesitant and slightly more impulsive. I'm not sure. It is hard to find that harmonious balance.

All in all, I still conflicted on certain decisions in my life right now, but I need to decide what makes me feel the best now instead of searching for the right justification.
