As we get older and older the decisions in life get harder and harder; mostly because the outcomes of theses choices have bigger impacts in our futures. It was nice when the biggest choice I had to make was what kind of cereal I wanted in the morning or what kind of juice box I wanted for snack time. Things aren’t quite so simple now that one big wrong move or more commonly; a series of small bad ones, can change the direction our lives go altogether. Working things out for ourselves without in life feels like walking a tightrope without a safety net. I guess that’s just one of the many stresses of growing up.
These decisions that stress us out are also one of the best parts of growing up all at the same time. It’s something that we’ve wanted since we were younger and couldn’t get our way, throwing a fit about about “not being able to anything”. With this freedom, we are able to grab life by the horns and create our own destines. I’m empowered by the ability to make it or break it based on how I respond to life.
I have heard a lot of people complain about the things they have to do and talk about what they have no choice over. To a certain extent they are correct but in the end they have a choice in almost everything that surrounds them. They don’t realize that they can choose wether or not they want to do anything; however, there are always consequences and repercussions for making the wrong choice. Sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze but that’s for us to decide on our own. As long as I’m able to have that choice and ability to make my own decisions then I’m going to embrace it, good or bad.
