I was at dinner the other night talking with a friend about what’s happening in her career. She told me about a significant dilemma she recently faced, with high stakes (potential income, reputation, etc.) that involved either:
- trusting her gut, holding her ground and being willing to walk away from a crucial deal if it wasn’t right (compensation, contract, collaborative partners, etc.)
- saying yes to what was on the table out of her desire for security and work, even though she knew she wouldn’t feel good about it
After a non-stop series of earlier setbacks that shattered her confidence, I could see how tough this was for her. It made me realize that we all face these kinds of crossroads in life, don’t we? Whether it’s in our careers or our relationships, it often comes down to this…
Do I choose the safe path or the inspiring one?
This is exactly what we’re exploring this week on MarieTV, through a question sent in by a reader named Christina. While we’re discussing this through the lens of business, I share 3 truths that can just as easily be applied to personal relationships.
