ALL UP TO YOU
A mom told her daughter once, "as you get older, every choice that you make defines who you’re gonna turn into." She continued, "…that’s why you need to look at yourself and ask if you like the person you’re becoming."
Where do we base our decisions? How do we make sane choices?
When I was a kid, the only things I have to decide on are the colors of shirts I choose to wear, the games I want to play, or the tv shows I like to watch, among others. As I aged though, the more I had to weigh my options making sure I chose the best or at least the lesser evil one for that matter, hehehe.
It would have been easier deciding if right decisions were always coupled with right emotions. A lot of people regretted having to decide on the basis of emotions after failing to realize one absolute fact about emotions: that it is dynamic, ever changing.
Where do we go if we can no longer define our happiness? What if suddenly we are willing to trade something our whole life was about for something new, unstable, and unexpected.
We have to be cautious of any dead-end especially that life is how we make it. Almost everytime, there’s no turning back so now that today is still a gift, we have to be realistic rather than letting our emotions take over. Oftentimes, when we leave something behind, they are gone forever, and even if we do find them again, we can no longer have the whole of them.
The most important thing to really ask one’s self after taking into account every potential heartache and inflicted wound on people who love us, is it even worth it?
