‘It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities’ ~ J.K. Rowling.
During our life we are all continuously making choices, sometimes we choose without thinking about the outcome or consequences of our choices. Sometimes these consequences especially those that happen after short-term thinking can be quite dramatic in the long-term. That’s why I feel exactly what the quote mentioned above is all about. Wrong choices….. I’ve made a few
.
It is also interesting when you consider the kind of choices we can or have to make during the different phases of our life. I mean we can choose to have a positive or a negative mindset. We can choose to have a below average life, an average or an abundant life. Btw I believe abundance has many different forms, for me this is not just restricted to finances or financial gain. But that’s a story of a different order, so let’s continue with the choices. We can successively choose to: go left, or maybe right, to love or be loved, to be happy, to be wealthy, to be successful (in whatever we do). well… there are literally thousands of examples of things that force or make you choose.
I am talking about choices because I have come to a point in my life where I cannot afford to make faulty choices. But then the question arises : ‘what is a faulty choice???’
Somehow this makes me think about my childhood and life as a teenager also. During those days choices were basically made for me, and thus actually paving the way and create the person I have become today. Another thing I am wondering about is if we can we choose our legacy? Does it matter to leave a certain legacy? Does it matter to you? Another choice… YES or NO? I think that a growing number of options to choose will in turn raise more questions.
But no matter our choices, we are still living ‘LIFE’ right …. So in the end it is as it is!
