How we define choice? How does one say this is the best choice I have made so far? the choice that you make does it enhance or rob your happiness? If at all what is the collateral? Who or what else is affected around you?
We live our lives to oblivion and absolutism. We tend to think that the end justify the means. After all what could go wrong? You wake up in the morning as long as you can breathe Life is Good? Right? WRONG. One way or another the choice you make will reverberate throughout the throes of the universe and the continuum that is life. Whether it is your decision to cheat. to quit your job, to cook a delicious meal, to start a business, one or another that has a cause and effect on actions that you partake.
Take me for example. I had been offered a permanent job at some retail chain. The pay was peanuts (it's always is when you just graduated and need to cover your basic expenses - an analogy most miss about a job, a job it's just to cover your expenses, you want to be a millionaire, build a concept out of your idea and turn into a business). Within two days of working there, a call came from one of the Big Four financial institutions and they said: we have a temp post for you.
Here a moment of choice arises: whether to stick with a secure permanent job or go for unsecure, uncertain temporary job. Most people would go for permanent job and have that falsified sense of security, 2 years down the line its a dead end job, routine, no application of skills and you are frustrated and unhappy. I chose the temporary one because the "uncertainty" made me excel at what I do and also urge me to work hard and also build my hobby-cum-business-concept: IT. Do not , I repeat do not make a career the end of your life or the means to an end. It is choice you make. The people you affiliate with - do they add value or subtract it?
Therefore it is a choice. The choice to be happy. The choice t be awesome and excel.
