It’s MY Decision

Why do people always try to tell a person what to do?

We all have SO many decisions which cross our paths during our life-time.  I want the choices I make to be MY decisions, not something I was bullied into. 

Here are just some examples challenging me:

As a young, working professional there are some money issues.  Isn’t there ALWAYS money issues?  I know I have to save some money, but geez, there are hardly enough left in a month giving me leeway to go out.  I know this.  Don’t tell me what to do.  It’s MY decision.

Up comes another issue.  I am a young female in a committed relationship.  Don’t tell me all the time that it’s time to get married.  I know this.  Don’t tell me when the right time is.  It’s MY decision

Here we go … the issue of having kids.  So, I plan to have kids when I am 33 – 35.  Don’t tell me it’s dangerous.  It’s the 21^st century for crying out loud.  Don’t tell me what to do.  It’s MY decision.

So everyone is having a good old South African braai tonight at a friend’s house.  Thereafter they are going dancing.  I am not a big fan of having a party at a club or even going clubbing … never was.  Do not force me.  Don’t tell me what to do or what I want.  It’s my decision.

Point is, I try and make the best decisions for myself.   It might not always be the right decision, but at least will be mine.
