Life is all about the choices we make. Every choice allows us to take a step closer to whatever path we are meant to take, and everything happens for a reason. But sometimes we are in a position where we have to choose between two things.
Earlier this week, I watched something that said: Not choosing is still choosing. What does that mean? Not deciding anything is like avoiding the decision we must make because we fear the consequences. Or maybe we don’t have to choose but feel pressured to do so? But that is another topic: the pressure to make decisions to make others happy.
What if sometimes we feel like one choice is better than another? What if, after making that decision, we feel regret and doubt? Can it be that we don’t trust ourselves enough to make a decision? Or can it be that we feel like we didn’t make the right decision because we feel like others will judge us? Or, what if the choices we make are when we can finally trust ourselves entirely? Maybe that is why it is hard to make decisions sometimes. It may not always be that we don’t trust ourselves to make a decision, but it is the after-effect of when we do make that decision. We can go on and on about the consequences of every decision we make, but if we do, our whole life, we will question the what-ifs. Wouldn’t it feel less stressful to start trusting yourself to make a decision knowing that whatever comes out of it is what you are meant to be living, and if the opportunity to make a similar choice in the future is a way for us to go a different path?
As you can see, my list of questions can go on about choices and the paths we choose to take. However, if we are ever in a position where we have to choose between two things that are creating conflict, it is best to go with what you feel is right. And sometimes what we think is right may be different for someone else. But if that is the case, are you going to choose yourself or the other person? I don’t think it is selfish to do what is best for you or the overall situation. But I believe that whatever you choose to do, be comfortable enough with any outcome that might occur and take responsibility for your decision. However, I also believe that we can change our choices or decisions along the way, which is not wrong. But if you constantly go back and forth, then you are simply causing conflict with yourself more than the ones around you or the situations you have to choose from.
