Choices of Choices
We wander through the path of life making choices after choices, some knowingly, some unknowingly. How to make a choice that leaves us least restless?
I made a choice to write an article after 3 long months. Inertia hit me and so did writer’s block. Having been away from writing for a certain duration, my brain was coming up with excuses to not write another article but I forced it to sit and write.
We are constantly making choices as we go through life. Some choices take us to places we are happiest in, some others make our lives miserable, some others may appear to make us happy, but eventually when the initial charm wears off, we become disllusioned and unhappy. Some choices are meant to teach us harsh truths, soms others teach us to love. Most importantly the choices we avoid are the ones that become the turning points in our lives.
When making a choice seems to be an intimidating process, what we must do is define what we want most from our life. You can go back to the beginning when you feel stuck where you jot down what you want the most from your life- is it money, is it power, is it fame, is it taking you closer to your quest for knowledge, is it aligning with the kind of peace you seek, is it making your mental health worse or better, is it aligning with your spiritual self? Once you are satisfied with these answers for a choice you are going to make, you can go ahead with your decision.
Once you have taken a decision it becomes important to stick to it. Whether the decision is about giving up on something or about giving in to something, you have to give your best to it. Only then, you can feel confident and excel in life.
