Every once in a while we all come to the cross roads. Facing a failure, challenge, doubt, anxiety or any other difficult situation? That's perfectly fine, now just do the next right thing. No matter the circumstances you face, favourable or not so favourable, doing doing the next right thing is a choice that's always available to each and everyone of us.
However, this doesn't just have to do with facing challenging situations. In fact, good times, when everything seems amazing is usually a time of great peril for many people. When all is well and good we can easily forget what brought here and this far, we forget to nurture important relationships, we slack on our efforts, it's easy to take on character eroding tendencies that undo our sense of self.
Or sometimes we just get tired of the daily grind, we get burned out in our jobs, work, and in our relationships.
We also make mistakes, big and small. To all these, I say to you just do the next best thing.
No matter the cross road you find yourself in, there's always a next right thing to do. You may not have been been able to see it yet, but there's always a best thing to do. Take time to look deep within, most time your guts and your instincts know us more. We all know deep down when something feels right and it doesn't. Our circumstance and challenges grow larger and cost us more when we fail to listen to our inner voice pointing us to the best course of action.
However, it is good to always remember that the next best isn't necessarily the next most comfortable thing, the next easiest thing, or the thing that will make everyone around you cheer you on. The best thing in every situation is just the best.
Just do the next best thing!!
