If something—even the very same thing—is foisted upon you by an outside force, it’s probably not going to feel very good. The difference is in who claims it as the “correct” choice.

One of my teachers used to say, “It doesn’t matter what choice you make; it matters that the choice be what is most true for you, based on who you know yourself to be.”
