did you ever be in a situation where you are already decided then you suddenly hold back? for me, it is just normal especially when you are thinking not just your self but the people around you. in this case you need to take precautions in making decision because you are not alone and any major decision you make will affect everything including your family. i remember when i am about to get married. my husband and i, even we love each other so much, think many times when we will get married. what keeps us holding back? it is our family because at that time we are still giving money to the family and we all know that once we get married, it means we will save on our own and live independently. in this case, how can we give money to our family. so we talk to them that we cannot regularly give them money once we decide to get married. we are just thankful that they are very supportive with us and they let us live independently. so now, we are proud to have our own home and a son. God is really good because He always has a better plan. i don't regret holding back because it makes me decide better.

There are times where I have second guessed myself, held myself back just a little bit. There are times where however, that can save you from a potential embarrassment, but you can really also outsmart yourself. You never truly know about it, because while there are times where thinking is good. Other times you can think a bit too much and lend yourself to frustration. In the end, do what you feel that you must and hope that it does all work out in the end. You just never truly know what might happen, until the moment that it does really happens. Holding yourself back has a chance of saving you but has an equally bigger chance of backfiring. There is really nothing to fear from any failure right in the end.

Absolutely true. Holding back is the best thing to do when you have still responsibilities. Thinking over the issue million times lead us to a right decision. Rushing everything doesn't give an assurance of security and success. You have made the right decision that's why in the end no regrets at all.

i agree. especially if we are having a big decision that will affect our family and our future. God always give us what we want in the right time so we should not rush. thanks for the reply.
