The Ultimate Choice

"It's choice--not chance--that determines your destiny."
- Jean Neditch

Words of wisdom, aptly put forth by a woman whose enlightenment can be attributed to her valiant struggle for survival.

Choices are inevitable, quintessential components of every mortal's existence, which could prominently make his destiny, dazzling or devastating, depending on the outcome. There are such moments in life, when pursuing that epic journey to paradise, after painstakingly crossing a winding stretch of road where life was highly fatiguing and laborious, we find ourselves at a fork, where all our past industry is let to hang loose by a thin delicate length of string which goes by the name 'choice'. When situations become this demanding, instead of focusing on a befitting selection, we keep brooding over the consequence of negativity and as our minds get shrouded by the mist of tension, we falter and eventually end up making an incorrect or unsuitable choice. These are the times when we should learn to boost our confidence coefficients and work to getting ourselves out of the mess unscathed. Sometimes, I feel it is wiser to go for the straightforward choice that might not boast of any attractive yield, but has lesser to lose, than go for the hazy one which you think might be vaguely productive.

Priorities are of paramount importance in this material world, where the hierarchy if flawed could lead to cataclysmic after-effects. The reason for my substantiation on this very subject is the result of a gloomy period of life generated by a series of rash decisions, inaccurate prioritizing and a deficient approach towards tackling tight situations. Choices need not necessarily be the ones faced when our dear future is placed on a precarious perch, the course of which lies in the hands of the decisions indeterminate. They could lie in the simplest of places and in the gentlest of times and yet be so taxing that they would make you wonder if pole-vaulting the Great Wall of China would have been a little more unburdensome.

Life is not always a walk in the park and those who have emerged victorious were not just proficient, skilled workaholics, but were ones who had made precise choices at approppriate stages, because after all, the ability to choose is not a blessing, but a privilege. At any point of time, whatsoever be the endeavour to be undertaken, there is always a choice and failure can definitely be eluded. If it becomes otherwise, it might only be the culmination of a previous erroneous choice that has brought the person to the edge of the cliff.

Wisdom as a germination of bitter experiences is always a prized possession that will have a lasting impact on the delicate human soul. Lessons are best learnt from one's own blunders, and it is mandatory that they find application in the near future. Ignorance is bliss is a philosophy not worth utilisation when it comes to choices. Excessive scrutiny might also lead to jeopardy at times, so it is essential that we make right choices and quick ones. Though the products they endorse might not be worth a penny, watching Telebrands does pay because it was what told me 'Choose Wisely - Live Well!!'.
