Choices

We make choices every day. Everything we do affords us with the opportunity to make a choice. It may seem at times that there is no choice; but you are wrong. There is ALWAYS choice.

These choices are what form our lives - who we are, who we are with (or not with), what we DO. Choice. Simple word, big implication. Option, alternative, selection, preference, pick. Whichever word you CHOOSE, it all has the same meaning.

There are those mistaken bad choices,indicating at once that they should NOT have been made. There are also those bad choices that you KNOW are bad; but choose to make them anyway. Taking a chance that maybe things won't turn out as badly as we think. Usually we are wrong.

It is those choices that I want to talk about today. The known bad choices that we make anyway. Why do you think we do that? And to take it a step further, why is it that we make the same poor choice more than once? Is there an impression that timing will make the outcome different?

Then there is the time in life when you realize that where you are is all because of the choices made at key times during your journey so far. There were forks, or crossroads, or whatever you want to call them - and you took the wrong path. Now that's not to say that there is not a path leading back to the right road; just that the one you are on now is difficult AND IT'S ALL YOUR OWN FAULT!!

What a crappy topic for a Monday. Oh well, at least there were enough good choices in my life to keep me happy on this crap-filled path.
