Choices are good, for the simple reason that you
can choose. Try to imagine a world with no choices. Life will
be completely different from how we think to the way we look.
We were brought to this wonderful world by choice, making choice
the very beginning of life. Who in their right mind would ever
fathom
choices?
Think about any situation that we have been through when things
were happening out of our control. Didn't we say to ourselves
that had there been a choice, we wouldn't have been there? Well,
it is quite natural for us to retrospect and analyze when we are
in an unfavorable situation. We tend to believe that a single
choice that we wish we had or recognized would have given us a
better hand on the situation and even an opportunity to have turned
it to our favor. We seldom repent that we didnt have choices when
we rejoice.
Choices make us feel responsible. When we choose to act in a certain
way and find that it has worked well for us, we like to take all
the credits for the right thing we did. We dont find enough time
telling
everyone how much we appreciate the one right move we made that
has brought so much to our lives. We often project ourselves as
the perfect example to illustrate how life is easier when we know
what we want. What if some of our decisions made things worser?
Those are hard experiences that teach a lot. We learn from them
while we own whole responsibility to all our actions. That makes
us happy too. We find that we were in control and we simply messed
up. It in fact reinforces the belief that nothing is out of our
control.
Men of yesteryears have shown us a few valuable insights about
choices. Each one of them made some
important decisions and choices in their lives that have changed
the face of the earth for ever. While
some left indelible scars the others shaped it to near perfection.
Some of the great scholars did make the tough choice of sacrificing
their personal lives and comforts for the sake of mankind. A number
of
philosophers chose even death when summoned to change their beliefs
and teachings. Time has proven that their invaluable choices have
benefitted the entire human race.
When all of us have the potential to become great and immortal,
all our decisions gain due importance.
Look for the next decision to make, the choices could make you
remembered for more than your lifetime.
Happy living!
