Decision

Decision

Everything you do is a choice. You choose the way you are living today. As we walk on the path of life, we are presented with cross roads and forks. Some are pretty obvious which turn we should take. However, not everything is easy in life. And in the fast pace life we are currently living in right now, we move so fast that we meet many more challenges than before and often, we hastily decide on the choices we make.

You will make decisions in your life. Some of these decisions will be incredibly good and result with you experiencing a much improved quality of life. Other decisions will be poor, yielding little benefit, or worse, cause more damage than good. Yes, whether it's right or wrong, it still is a decision you have made that brought you to the "you" today.

I am not trying to gloat that I do not make any mistake or have never made a wrong decision. I have my shares of mistakes that I too once blame my circumstance instead of myself. But after awhile, I began to realize that everyone faces the same thing in life. So why are some people successful and some aren't? You see, when we face difficulties in life, we are often presented with many choices to workaround the problem. It's up to us to find out what they are and then decide the best course of action.

It cannot be changed. It serves as a guidance and wisdom so that you can make better decisions in the future. All that matters is where you are going from this moment forward. You can't allow yourself to cry over the spilled milk. Look upon the past as an investment in your life that is irretrievable. You can't get it back. Then focus your attention on the future horizon of your own possibilities and begin moving in that direction. I just don't want to be like Columbus, who set off for the new world not knowing where he was going. When he got there, he didn't know where he was. And when he got back, he didn't know where he had been. This is how most people live their entire lives.
