Life choices.....



Recently it struck me so much how virtually everything we do in life is as a result of the choices we make. Ok, let's forget the fact the we have little or no say about our lives in the early stages but as time goes on and one becomes aware, you start to make your choices.

The choices start with whether you choose to listen to your teachers in class, participate in extra curricular activities or just exist in your school. Even in the little things of life, I would imagine how many times one chose to wake up early to study, plan a day or pray.

I mean look at it, just the way you choose a pair of shoes to buy, so also do you choose your friends, spouses and acquaintances. How many times have you wondered whether you made the right choices? I remember driving to work on a fateful day and I pondered on the route to drive to work. I eventually chose one and got stuck in a traffic jam and I imagined what would have happened if I chose the other route. It may also have been prone to traffic but it occured to me that my experience on the road would have been very different. So I applied the same principle to life and I imagined........





What if I did not go to the schools that I went to, it means my circle of friends would have been different. What if I chose to work in another company other than the one I am currently working with, it means my experiences would have been totally different.

The list goes on and on...needless to say, we have been equipped with everything we need to achieve our goals in life. What we really need to do is to make the right choices......May we be guided right!
