Contemplating decisions

If we controlled our own lives, each decision would be quite easy to make. But it's a much more complicated web than that.
However, some decisions require an immense amount of mental preparation. They require renewal of intentions, and surrendering of the self. And then you leave your fate upto Allah (swt). I read a quote by someone today that an opportunity like this only materialises after a tremendous hardship.
I believe I'm going through tremendous hardship, so...
Will this decision come to pass? I really hope so.. I really pray so.
