I Wish We Had Magic Wands...But Then We Wouldn't Have Free Will

I know it will all work out...and I know for now, at the present time, I am doing the right thing, but sometimes it is so hard to find the line between two different parts of life of which both are necessary. How do you make two things gel when they come from two totally different perspectives and you only agree with one side and the other you are only working with out of respect for a person? And how long do you work with that side out of respect before you finally step out and have to make the decision yourself?

Sometimes I wish that we could wave some magic wand or had some form of magic concoction that would make things work out just the way we want them. That you could make everyone agree and see that the decision you are making for yourself works and everyone would be just fine and dandy with it.

But if this were true, no one would really be able to make decisions because we would all be waving our little "happy sticks" at one another trying to make someone else see it our way. It would all turn into mass chaos. Unfortunately, without those "happy sticks" I feel like confusion reigns everything. Not confusion in where I stand, but confusion in how to make where I stand gel with the disagreements of others without destroying relationships.

I guess the best answer: you can't make everyone happy, so decide where you stand, try to work with everyone for a time being, and if a united conclusion cannot be reached, you follow what you know to be right in your own heart.
