Choices

Everyday we are faced with choices and regardless of their size or the form in which they come, these choices will somehow, always hold relevance in our lives. Maybe not today and perhaps not tomorrow, but eventually the choices we make today, have the ability to transform IT all... forever.

The thing with choice is, there's really only ever you to blame for the decisions you make and the outcomes they produce. It's all about taking action and giving your gut exactly what it wants. Or is it?

Maybe it's better to ignore the desires we all harbour from deep within and play dumb for all eternity. It may not feel as good or as wild, but it has to make the most sense right?

Just because YOU may be feeling a moment of craziness, does not mean the rest of the world is feeling it right along with you. Besides, not everyone appreciates such honestly, even if you yourself welcome it.

A choice can be life altering for not only the person making the choice but also those around them and this is why the ability to choose should never be wreckless, nor taken for granted.

It's all about thinking and seeing through clear eyes with a clear mind. It's the only way to make choices that hopefully wont have devastating effects.

I've always been the 'thinker' kind but every now and again I too have made bad choices based on the poor judgement of an erratic heart-beat. I've believed forever that there couldn't possibly be another way to live - that we must all forever act and live, purely off instinct.

As I grow older, I suppose I have lost the innocent, child-like quality of believing that spontaneous action carries no consequence. I've come to realise the heart is fragile and should never be tampered with intentionally, especially if the possibility of it's tampering holds a negative effect.

If we were all free spirits put here to dance in and between a garden of roses for the rest of time, perhaps irrational fluttering of the heart resulting in gut wrenching decision making may be shone upon rather than frowned upon. This sadly isn't the case though, hence we all must learn to think rather than dance through life.

Unfortunately the heart knows no boundaries to this dance which is why the mind creates a safe circle around it, to ensure the decisions made by you or I, are are the best for all concerned.

Just because we may not act in ways we secretly wish we could, does not mean the thoughts do not exist. I suppose this is when those thoughts become dreams... dreams that follow your soul into its slumber and dance alongside you throughout the night.

Yes, these thoughts definitely exist... they're just not practical enough to follow through in the day-light hours... and I'm not sure they ever will be.

So we'll continue to dream by night and hopeful think by day knowing that our secret desires will appear to us in the hours kept shut by closed eyes... and we'll continue to live, love and learn this way... until the end of time.
