We Always Have A Choice

“What has life to offer me when I grow old”? - This is the first line of the famous song "Next In LIne of After Image (I don't remember which year) that literally hit me while thinking of the first thing to write about this post. 

Quite sad isn't it? Well, I won't focus on the tear-jerking thoughts in here, though, maybe along the lines I may hit some emotions. But I'll try to make it as interesting and short as possible- knowing I'm a wordy guy. I wish I could have all the elements in writing to do all these. But heck! I'll give it a try.

Cliche tells us that "life is what we make it". I agree to it. We choose what we want, we choose our decision. Our daily existence is part of how we partake in the banquet of the world. There, we have plenty of choices - and WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOCE! which one to pick up or out, which one to pursue and which one to make our stand for. In life, we are presented with myriad of choices. Choices that sometimes fit or unfit our system.

I strongly disagree about the idea that sometimes we are left without a choice. We only say we don't have a choice anymore when what's left with us is a choice that we don't want to be part of. There is this certain negation in us that we keep on denying about the choice laid upon us. At some point, we tend to blame God for giving us a hard one. A choice that literally set us out of our comfort zone. But we never realized that God gave us that certain choice for our own good. for our growth, for us to be stronger, for us to entertain life that completely deviates to what we always expect. 

In short, God wants us to pursue the part that few people desires to stride on. And that is called 'risk". And I would say, it's a Godly risk. Why? It is because God won't allow us with a choice we can't bear, a choice we can't be victorious in the end. 

A choice maybe so difficult sometimes but it's God's way of refining us. Initially, we tend to awkwardly react to the choice laid upon us especially if we aren't expecting them to be such.

But, ACCEPTANCE is the key. In a certain crossroad, there is always a choice that will ignite you to move ahead. Our mind might be too clouded with denial which fuels our negation against the choice presented to us but once you learn to accept it and dwell on the bright side of things why a certain choice, not to our likings, was presented we will be able to appreciate it. Thus, propels us to drive along with it and smoothly move ahead. 

On another positive note, we can always ask question like this: "What's in it that's going to teach me?" Instead of bickering, whining, and complaining, why not give the positive side of you take the lead? 

And having an attitude of optimism, anything that seems unsurpassable or insurmountable will begin to become possible. 

With that last note above, Good night everyone. Tomorrow is a new day with a fresh & new hope.
