I want to make a choice I can be satisfied with! Ways of thinking to overcome career hesitation
There have been many changes this year, haven't there?
Some of you may have had the courage to take a step into a new environment, while others may still be feeling lost.
I, too, have felt that hesitation and anxiety many times.
That is precisely why one of the things I learned this year is the importance of making choices you can be satisfied with.
Career hesitation is something that comes to everyone.
Whether it's the direction of your work, changing jobs, side hustles, or your role within the company, there are many options, and each one holds the potential to significantly change your future.
At times like that, it's easy to be swayed by information on social media or the opinions of those around you.
But what is truly important is that you feel, 'This is a choice I can be satisfied with for who I am right now.'
What I learned this year is that a sense of satisfaction is not something given from the outside, but a feeling that wells up from within yourself.
It is only by taking quiet time to listen to your own feelings that you can begin to see the answer.
There was a time when I felt unsettled because I tried to make a decision in a hurry.
At that moment, I stopped for a while and asked myself a question.
'Is this really okay? What is it that I truly want to value?'
That question lit a quiet light in my heart, and I could feel a sense of satisfaction being built slowly.
As a result, I became able to face my own values and emotions firmly, rather than just conforming to those around me.
Whether it was when I decided to resign or when I started my own business, I had little regret or anxiety, and I could truly feel that 'this was the right thing to do.'
To overcome hesitation, it is also important not to seek a perfect answer too much.
Life is a one-time journey, so it is okay to allow for mistakes and wavering at times.
What matters is that the choice has meaning for you and is one you can be satisfied with.
And making a choice you can be satisfied with is also a way of cherishing yourself.
Not ignoring your own emotions and acknowledging that it is okay to be "just as I am" leads to a sense of security in your choices.
What I learned this year has lightened my heart and given me the courage to move forward.
If you are feeling career hesitation right now, please do not rush and take the time to listen to your own voice.
That inner voice should become a light that warmly illuminates your life.
