Have you ever known what you needed to do, but couldn't push yourself to do it because you knew it would hurt the people you care about?

Yes because I'd have to put myself first and I rarely do that.

But is it really worth the sacrifice? To live in a lie or let others be deceived continually, is that kindness? Personally I gravitate towards situations where I can be honest and upfront. Where I feel I have to stay mum, I move away from that.

@WildeGeist Wise move. It takes strength to keep it real.

You hit the nail right into the nerve

It always depends, with me, on the specifics. Every situation is different
Musicman · 61-69, M
@ArtieKat That is very true.

Kind of depends on the individual situation.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@therighttothink50 That is very true.

No.

I often know what I need to do, but do not do it because I am lazy.
Umile · 41-45, F
Definitely.

Almost all my life.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Umile Some days it really makes you feel miserable doesn't it. ☹️
Umile · 41-45, F
@Musicman Yeah. But then I think on how
I would feel if I don't. You know ? It's a mess. But, it's your wholesome mess.

I can't' think of a time when I would do something that resulted in hurt people. Like what kind of things foreinstance? If I think it will hurt someone I just don't do it. Can you explain what you mean?
[c=800055] Depends on the situation..... I guess.
For me it's partly true. <3 [/c]

@V00doo Did you do what needed to be done? I have been putting it off.
@Musicman Maybe once or twice

What I have found is that if I couldn't push myself to do something that would hurt the people I care about, it's because I wasn't suppose to be the one doing it.

That inner guidance that is stopping us from pressing forward is our first sign that we should not be the one administering the resolution to a problem.

We may know more about how to solve the issue than anyone else does, but if we don't have an inner gut feeling that we can do whatever it takes to bring closure to some issue, then we are not the person who is suppose to be bringing closure to it's resolution.

Some else who can view the situation more 'objectively' than 'subjectively' is the person who should really be handling it, perhaps under our 'knowing' direction.

@Musicman
Why are you not doing it then?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@swirlie Financial reasons. ☹️
swirlie · 31-35, F
@Musicman
🤔 ... why not give it some time?
Lilnonames · F
Sometimes it has to be done
