The Choices We Make

The choices we make.  How about all the decisions we make every day, whether good or bad.  Are they good or bad?  Or just decisions.  It is not until it is 20, 30, or every 40 years later we realize those choices were maybe not the right decisions.  At lease that is how we feel sometimes.  But then again, maybe they were the right decisions at the time?  We don’t think about it until we are yearning for another life.  But then again, maybe the other possibilities in our life even though may have seemed better for us may have in some way been worse for us.  Those decisions may have steered us to make damaging mistakes or lead us to be in different circumstances that would have been more detrimental for us.

I think of the different jobs I have had.  If I had stayed would it have been better?  When I left was it better?  All I was thinking was this new job is a better opportunity.  I think about all the places I have live.  Each place had it give and takes.  And all the people and the relationships, was one better or worse?  Or did they have their give and takes?  And as for myself; there are changes I made or did not make within myself.

Is the greener pasture better or worse?  Maybe I was meant to live in a different terrain; territory; country?  Be and work with another group of different people.  Have an entirely different life plan?  I cannot know.  None of us can know.  All we have is the present moment.  Looking back is useless unless there was a lesson or love.  All we can do is to make the most of the present moment no matter what the circumstance.  We can make changes only with ourselves and take each day as a gift.
