There are countless decisions we make daily. Some are insignificant, while others can profoundly impact our lives.
I was thinking about some ‘crazy’ decisions that I made for the past decade – big and small. But here’s the thing, there’s a silver lining to it. All these decisions that I remember are those uncomfortable ones. They were scary and they turned out to be some of the the best decisions in my life!
When I think about it, all these uncomfortable decisions were life-changing decisions. They’ve led me to places I never imagined, shaping my life in ways I couldn’t have foreseen.
Here are some of them,
- 2014: Pursuing a degree abroad regardless not having enough money. I tried and I tried and lucky enough, I got a full scholarship just in time! It’s a dream come true
- 2015: Jumping off from big corporation life to startup world. I learned a lot through the experience – lots of challenges but one of the most rapid growth I’ve ever had.
- 2017: Undergoing Lasik – eyes surgery. I suffered from wearing glasses and contacts for most of my life, and for the first time I felt my life is unstoppable. I would do it earlier if I knew.
- 2019: Taking a long career break (I was really tired of running) and spent 9 months without permanent job. I had one of the best time solo travelling around – and that was.. right before the pandemic!
- 2020: Diving into personal growth in Mindvalley platform and eventually became the local host for Indonesia. I met the most loving and supportive people I’ve ever encountered in my life – some are still my best friends today!
- 2021: Taking out my saving for life coaching certification. Best investment I’ve ever made! It changed the course of life forever.
- 2022: Leaving my marketing/business career to become a full-time coach and embrace entrepreneurship. Loving the journey to the galaxy and back!
- [BONUS] 2022: Had lunch with Nicolas Saputra in Bali. We both coincidentally at the same area. The decision? I asked him 😂
I realized that the the only way to grow and bring more happiness to life is throughout uncomfortable decisions. And I’m grateful for all those decisions that I made in my life. They got me here, to where I am today: the healthiest and happiest version of me.
And you know what, I’m looking forward for more and more uncomfortable decisions in the future that I will keep making!

So, if you can reflect back on your life, you might notice that the biggest growth or happiness you experienced were the result of those uncomfortable decisions. And maybe… you want to ask yourself,
What uncomfortable decisions have I been avoiding? Why am I holding myself back?
Take one small uncomfortable decision this week. It could be a simple one, like trying a new hobby or having a difficult conversation.
My wish for you is that you keep making those uncomfortable decisions knowing that you are meant to thrive..
And if you ever need my support, I’m here for you. ❤️
Have a courageous week!

With love,
Inuk
