What are choices anyway,,,
I read a post somewhere, the life you are living today, is a choice. And i stopped to ask myself, is it? And if it was actually a choice or my choice, when exactly did i ever get to make this choice. When did i ever get to single it out from the “many” “options ” handed over to me and now becoming a choice that i eventually made..
These are questions that have been on my mind ever since i got wind of that quote. Even amazingly asking myself whether or not i made the right decision “choosing” that life in the first place. Out of thinking much about this i truly realised that indeed in as much as i may not have been consciously weary of the decision i made in choosing the life i am living today, i certainly had options, options from which i could now make my choice from. Options which i could have taken time to explore before actually deciding to narrow down to my choice.
We never realize that we have options, we usually do, we only choose what feels right by us as and when we make those choices, rarely do we choose to sit back and go through all the “options” before making our choice. Rarely do we even play possible scenarios of the outcomes in our minds just to be sure as to whether we love the outcomes before actually deciding to make the choice.
I am not sure how much sense this could be making, but i am certain to believe that indeed the life one is living today is actually a choice they made. The true test would be asking yourself how to choose differently, how do you unchoose what you chose, how do i go back to the array of options explore and choose differently,, do we even have that luxury of undoing our choices, do we have the luxury of being presented with those options again to enable us now choose differently if not better. The answer can be anything, yes, no or maybe. Whichever is your answer i am also certain to believe that in as much as choices have consequences, irregardless of what those consequences are, they are never meant to define us in any way or subject us into believing that we shall keep making wrong choices for the rest of our lives. We shall choose to let the consequences of our actions be platforms of learnings, learnings on how to live and manage the consequences or learn how to choose better the next time we are in a similar situation.
Food for thought.. Do you have moments of thoughts like this where you have questioned your choices maybe not all but some, did you like them, what drove you into making that choice, are you happy with the consequences of your choice, did you have different options, did you explore them, at times one may find themselves in situations that made them choose something and they would say they did not have a choice but to make that particular choice, always remember that everyone has a choice just that at times we make the wrong choice or simply we just chose differently. We may not like some of the choices we made, but we can use their consequences to learn how to make better choices next time.
Do you also agree with that quote that the life you are living today is a choice? If yes are you happy and if no,, was it destinied that you are living the way you are or is it fate…
