Some people move through life letting things happen to them. Caught in the mindset of “what-if’s”, “buts” and “could’s” refusing to see “what is”. For any self-respecting realist, leaving things to fate is a waste of your time not to mention, a dangerous mind-set.
As I go through this life, it has occurred to me that the best way to gauge if a situation or relationship suits you is to give it a two-year assessment:
Two years to observe
Two years to find out
Two years to test
Two years to push and pull
Two years to give it your all
Two years to understand
Two years to learn as much as you can
Two years to know yourself more
Two years to weigh things
Two years to gather courage
Two years to make that decision
May it be in a career/work or in a personal relationship, two years is the best window time to determine if you are willing to go the distance or quit in the game while there’s still time.
These two years is the best time to give an objective assessment of whether you’re going to take this person/situation/career as what it is.
If you are living with someone may it be a boyfriend or a girlfriend, two years is the perfect opportunity to assess whether you’re in it for the long haul and can actually picture yourself spending the rest of your life with this person.
If your in a career rut, two years is the best time to tell whether you plan to spend every single day of your remaining adult life in the same office, with the same boss, at the same salary and try to convince yourself that it will make you happy.
In the span of two years, you may have lost some, but you sure also, have gained some. All it takes is two years to know whether you’re a right fit to anything.
If you are indeed a pro-active person, fully in-charge of your life, two years is the best gauge. After those two years and you have not made a decision with what you’re going to do, life will make the unmistakable action of deciding for you --- and sometimes, the results of letting things happen to you can never be in your best interests.
After all, it is your life and future on the line --- never settle.
