What happens when you are not convinced

Even though you thought it through and made a choice,
for some reason, you cannot fully accept it.

When you feel, "Was this the right thing to do?"
the thought that "It must be because I lack confidence..."
sometimes comes to mind as well.

It is not that you are wrong,
but there is a feeling that something is stuck deep down.

Even when you consult with people around you,
they might say, "But you've done it!"

You can explain it,
and you understand it yourself.

Even so, once more,

there are moments when you want to ask again,
"Was this really the right thing to do?"

A "correct choice" and a "convinced choice"
might look the same,
but their roles are slightly different.

"Correctness" is
the power of judgment you have built up through your experiences, situations, and relationships so far.

"Conviction" is
a state where your current feelings quietly overlap with your choice.

Both are important.

When you have made a correct choice,
but you are not fully convinced.

There may still be
room to re-examine
what is left.

For example,

you think it is not wrong.
But you feel like you decided a bit too quickly.

You understand it.
But it does not feel like you chose it from your heart.

You can explain it.
But somehow, the words feel borrowed.

At times like that,
instead of asking "was it correct?"
why not check a little bit
about "how you felt"?

When I still have doubts,

I often look back and ask,
was that choice one I made with conviction?

Or,
was it a choice I made by prioritizing correctness?

I often re-examine things later.
Sometimes, I even choose again from there.

It is not about which is good or bad.

It is to confirm for myself
what I valued and chose
at that time.

The power to choose the correct answer,
and the power to confirm your conviction,
both exist within you.

When you have a feeling that things have come to a slight standstill,
you can re-examine things without leaving that sense of discomfort behind.
You can go back and check on it.

How have you been making choices
lately?

It might be nice to take a quiet look back.

Well then, until next time!
