the one thing you can count on in life is that you will feel uncertain. there will be moments where you won't know if the decision you're making is the right one. however, not making a decision is always worse than acknowledging what can go wrong, and how you'll deal with it. you got this.https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
What happens when you avoid making difficult decisions?
I think the worst case is you never figuring out if it was a yes or a no. You'll never know because you didn't ask them. When you know that something is hitting the fan, when you know that things are going wrong, you are often left with the decision that you have to make. oftentimes that decision is uncomfortable.
Let's say you are finally realizing that your hinge date is not cool and actually the small things that you thought were quirky are super annoying and you don't want them in your life and they keep texting you every single day. Shocker. It's almost like those red flags were there from the start. But whatever. I won't judge. I'm not one to judge. But now you have a decision.
You can either drag this out Or you can probably send a text that will take you, I don't know, 10 minutes to draft up. You ever do that? You draft a text in the notes app and then you copy and paste it. You know what I'm talking about. Real recognizes real. But you are afraid to do anything. You are paralyzed in fear.
You are standing in the middle of a road that splits two different ways and you don't know where to go. I want you to always ask yourself, In these kind of situations, what is the worst case? If you do this, you prepare yourself for the worst scenario. Potentially. There is no guarantee.
Sometimes you might think that the worst scenario is, yeah, they're going to get kind of mad and, you know, they'll be like, well, why did I pay for four of your dinners? Whoopsies. But thinking of the worst case gives you so much peace of mind as to following through with your decision and taking a risk. Oftentimes, we are so quick to talk ourselves out of things.
We are so quick to immediately be like, no, no, no, no, I don't want to do that thing. No, no, no, get that away from me. Instead of asking ourselves, well, what's the worst case? I mean, do I even need to give this example? Like when you see someone you want to talk to and you think is cute and they're in your class and you're like, well, ah, ah, ah. Ask yourself, what's the worst case?
What is the worst thing that can happen? What is genuinely the worst case in that kind of situation? Because I think that the worst case is you not knowing. I think the worst case is you never figuring out if it was a yes or a no. You'll never know because you didn't ask them. It's the same thing, hey, in school, I had some tests that I knew
Ain't no way I was studying for, and it was, you know, I was in too deep. I was on my fourth YouTube rabbit hole of the day, and respectfully, I wasn't going to stop. I had to ask myself, like, okay, I mean, I'm going to put in this time to do this thing, but is this a good use of my time? This might be bad educational advice, but like what is the worst case? Right?
You mess up one of your exams, okay? Do you have another exam that you can do better on? Yes, okay. Can you pass the class? Yes, I can. The worst case is that I won't be able to apply for this scholarship. And you've been good at keeping up with that scholarship. That's not good. Study for that exam. But weighing your options in a situation is so important.
