The Choices We Make

Life is all about choices. Choices to change, choices to stay the same. Choices made over careful deliberation, and choices without thinking of the consequences. Everyday we are faced with a series of questions, followed by a series of choices. Do we want to get up in the morning? Do we want to be the kind of person that would make others proud? What will make us happy? Are we looking for a temporary high, a quick fix, a piece of revenge, or to be loved for the wrong reasons? Are we just shouting into the void to fill the one inside us that is just as vast? The answers to those questions aren't always so clear. What we think is right for us might not be. When stuck between a rock and a hard place, the answer isn't always so black and white.

Along with these choices comes change. We become so comfortable with what we have, and we forget that nothing stays the same. We think, and hope that when we come back, things will remain. But that mind set will only lead to disappointment. Seizing the day means deciding which day to seize. There is more than one right way, and two roads can often both lead to great rewards. We must decide which rewards are more important, and whether we willing to loose one thing to gain something else.
