“A mother, her young son, and their donkey are taking a long journey through the countryside. The mother is riding the donkey with the son walking alongside as they enter a village. All of a sudden, the village people gather and start stoning them. The pair run away and manage to escape. The mother is dumbfounded, and as they approach the next village, she thinks, “Maybe they thought it was inappropriate to have the son walk”, so they switch places and prepare to enter. But once again, they’re stoned by the village people. At a total loss, she thinks, “Maybe it’s the donkey. Maybe they worship donkeys in this country.” So before entering the next village, they decide to pick up the donkey and carry it, but it proves so heavy that as they cross a bridge, the donkey falls over the side, lands in the river, and drowns.
What’s the morale of the story? If you try to please everyone, you’re going to lose your ass.”

At the end of the day, you are not going to please everyone. You can gather other’s thoughts and input, but you have to make the decision that in your heart, you know is the correct thing to do. Make your decision and enact it, then you let the chips fall where the may and move forward.
Have a great day, and make sure you believe in your decisions.
