Indecisive Rambling


It all started with a quote I read on SubZeroBlue:

" Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. "

Steve Jobs


How do you find courage to make a life-changing decision? How do you avoid all the hesitation, the sense of bewilderment, the fear of future regrets in addition to people's opinions and simply follow your inner voice? How do you win the battle of mind vs. heart without eventually getting trapped in between and watching life slipping away in front of you?

Well, anyone who finds the answers to the questions you raised & then implements them too in his/her life is a successful person. These are not easy questions, but then great people also are not produced by answering easy questions. Success demands patience & sacrifice. Good Luck :-)

You phrase it so well, I pray you take that step in the right direction.

@ Lolitta

I LOVED your Arabic blog, particularly the latest post. It puts what I feel into the exact words. :)

@ DG

What if you have been patient for a quite long time? Do you simply give up your dreams and try to stick more to the reality?

@ Kay

Aren't you the queen of quotes? :D
Loved that one, must say. But again steps are not always easy to take.

Hey Guari,

I was just checking your blog and found out it was deleted. I thought this girl wasn't kidding about the feeling blue thingy. ;)

Anyways, glad it was just a mistake. As for the flu, I'm getting better al7amd li Allah. Thanks for asking, dear! :)

confidence =]
confidence always gives you courage. Its never the outcome. People say, "Oh once you put in your mind what you aspire to be,then you will achieve it." Be as that may, confidence is always needed to give you that boost of courage, its enough just to dream it.

nice post, Global =] . I pondered this question for quite a while 'til i found the answer =)
