We all go through life making decisions. Everyday we make thousands of choices. Some of them we are aware of, and some of them we make without even noticing. Some of them we sit and contemplate and do our best to make the best ones possible. Others we make and only afterwards are we left with the opportunity to contemplate whether they were the right ones to make.
Many times, we are also effected by the choices of others. Either way, the choices that we make as well as those made by other people always either positively or negatively impact our lives. I have noticed lately that no matter how meaningless some choices may seem, that even the small ones should be contemplated upon. Small choices often lead to larger ones having to be made. Ones that have more significance. Ones that impact our lives on a large level.
Choices should never be made out of anger or be made when we are upset or hurt. When we make choices during these types of situations, we are not making them rationally, nor do we tend to make the ones we prefer we would have. Even if a circumstance arises in which we think that a choice needs to be made instantaneously, chances are, the choice can wait. It can wait for some time to pass by so that a rational choice can be made.
One of the most advantageous things a person can do in life is realize that choices are what we make of them. Even in rough circumstances, choices are our liberation. That define who we are. What we are. And where we are going in life. They give us the opportunity to decide for ourselves how our lives are to be.
It is also beneficial for us to remember that bad choices will be made at one time or another, or if you are anything like me, sometimes they will be made quite frequently. But even amidst a sea of bad choices, good possibilities can arise. And it is our responsibility and choice to take the initiative to realize that good can come from bad. No matter how many bad choices we make, opportunities to make good choices always make themselves present. One bad choice does not always have to lead to another bad choice being made. One good choice does not always mean that another good one will follow, but the more good choices we make, the better habit we will form at making them.
Good choices. Bad choices. We all make both of them. Let's try to do better at making better ones. Even the good choices we make, we can make them better. So instead of focusing on making good choices, simply focus on making better ones. Making good choices doesn't always mean we will lead a good life. In fact, some people that make good choices get taken advantage of and lead a life of suffering. But, if we all strive to make better choices, only thing that can happen is we all live better lives. Might not necessarily mean a good life, but a better one than we are currently living. That's what I'm going for. Something better.
