Choices

Choice- The act of choosing; selection.

We all have to make them. Some are painful. Some are already made for use indirectly. Some of them hurt others while some hurt ourselves. Some of them are made without any rationalization and some take a lot of thought. I believe this word is one of the most powerful word that humans can use. You wake up one day and you realize you hate the job you once loved. You rolled out of bed and said to yourself " I just dont know if I can do this any longer" What happens when you decide to just walk away from something that you once loved?

You come home from traveling for work only to find an empty place. The person you once left indirectly told you he or she no longer loved you by their choice they made. They took everything. The life you once knew, is no longer comfortable and you are standing there with your pants down around your knees. You dont think it can happen to you as you blindly go through life but one day it does and you are taken back by it and feel at a loss. When we are faced to make tough decisions in life they affect many people around us.

The job you once loved becomes a job, there is no passion left. You are no longer excited to do what you love. To me, it seems that we always have to have something planned out for ourselves. We are told we have to have a plan "B" If we dont have a plan be and plan "A" falls apart in front of us then we are left scratching our heads, asking ourselves What next.

Isnt it funny though how everything has a way of working themselves out regardless of the choices we have made in our lives. I find myself wondering if the people that I pass by on a daily basis are happy. Are they doing what they love? Have you ever made eye contact with someone that you can just feel their negative energy inside them? I know Id rather be around someone who is happy than miserable. That s a given but its a lot easier said than done. It goes back to the word "Choice" Sometimes when we make a choice, we set expectations on ourselves that are sometimes damn near impossible to reach. When we don't meet those expectations we let ourselves down along with others.

Since we are all faced with choices in life, take a moment to think about what you really want out of life. What is your soul trying to tell you? Do you really love that person you are with, or are you comfortable and afraid of leaving them? Same thing goes for your choice of work. Remember, its just a job. They do come and go, sometimes faster than we would like. So close your eyes and listen to what the soul is trying to say. Its always right. Sometimes there is a major disconnect between what the mind is saying and what the soul is saying which makes people often feel confused about what they really want out of life. People who love you, will support you regardless of what you do.

You may seem you are along by making a tough decision but you aren't. Take a look around, without the choices you have made you wouldnt be who you are and you wouldnt of made the life that you have. Believe in yourself and listen to yourself and everything will fall into place.
