CHOICES

We all make choices in our lives that we later be grateful for or regret. We choose to forgive, to love, to trust, to apply for that dream job, to be alone, to dream big, to hate and whereby regardless of all that, a choice is a choice, be it good or bad YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHOICES YOU MAKE.

Let’s take a few moments to ask ourselves this following question; Do we take time to digest those choices before we make them? I mean, do we ever think of the consequences? Well, I believe it’s a “sometime thing” to most of us and have you ever asked yourself why most of the time you don’t digest the choices you are about to make? If I may answer this question from my experience and I believe it’s an experience from most of you guys too, it is because OUR CHOICES ARE EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN. Most of the time decide things when we are happy or sad, it’s emotionally driven.

It takes an emotionally healthy person to make the good or right choices

If you are emotionally unhealthy, your choices will be driven by how you feel at that point and most of the point it happens to be anger. If you try to figure out what’s behind that anger, you’ll get to know that it may be hurt, disappointment, unmet expectations which have led you to make those choices that you’ll later forever regret or not.

UNCOMPROMISING FACTOR

There are times in our lives where we decide or choose to compromise the uncompromising factor due to various reasons or situations. But is it always WORTH IT? There are lots of things that we do choose to compromise in our lives. Be it in our relationships with family, friends, lovers or colleagues and that we later regret. We sometimes choose to compromise our standards, values, beliefs and other many more things for the sake of what we call love, acceptance, recognition or belonging. I get it, we all humans and sometimes we want to feel understood or accepted by someone and instead of just embracing our true selves, we think that compromising one or two of our standards will make use seem cooler enough but trust me, sometimes it LAST and sometimes it HURTS instead. So the whole point here is to be open-minded when we making our life choices because nobody likes ending up in that regret zone.

However, it might not be probably much too late to apologize for the choices you’ve made in the past and so please make time to go apologize to anyone you’ve hurt in the process. It might be a friend, parent, sibling, neighbor or even yourself. You can choose to forgive yourself for the reckless choices you’ve made in the past. DON’T LET YOUR MISTAKES DEFINE YOU!
