We either end up resenting the people who pulled us to make the choice or we resent ourselves for making the choice because we feel like we betrayed and abandoned ourselves, which is never a good situation.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever you feel the pull of both duty and desire, ask yourself what the most self-honoring choice is, because when we make the most self-honoring choice we are less likely to feel resentment later. We show up more authentically in our relationships when we make choices that are self-honoring.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choose something, start to take steps forward, and then if you need to choose something else, you can.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are considering becoming a great coach, the $2,500 early bird discount for enrollment in</span></em> <a href= "https://elementumcoachinginstitute.com/"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">ElementumCoachingInstitute.com</span></em></a> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">ends on December 31, 2021.
