choices

Some choices will either make you perish or prosper, choose properly.

Every choice starts with a decision. Every decision starts with a thought. Every thought starts with a pre-conceived idea. It is up to you to decide what you do with each but always remember that the choice you make will result in the consequence you face.

Do not discern it differently -- pursue it differently.

Sorry_ we all say __orry_ for the wrong things we say and do. But do we always think about the people we love dearly who we say hurtful things to? I don__ think so because if we had think about it sorry wouldn't have become such a popular word today. Sometimes we say so much and act immature as adult. We didn't take the time to realize how much hurt and pain we put that individual in we never took the time to think of the reaction, the feelings and the consequence that we might have to face if what we do turns out to be a matter of life and death.!!!

We, at times, criticize ourselves for making immature choices. But if you think with real compassion you will find that those were the right choices at that point of time. Everything happens for a reason, maybe, that was destined. Anyway the best would be to accept whatever happened and move on.

You are here to live your purpose not to please others. If they truly respect you they will respect your choices too.

They say faith is taking the first step when you can__ see the whole staircase. Actually, wisdom is seeing the elevator behind it that would have taken you to the top floor.

But circumstances change. Small causes lead to large effects. New paths are added. And all anyone can do . . . is choose.

You can keep pondering on which thing to do first or which path to take or by simply taking action now of most any kind, you may just find yourself on the way to where you most needed to go.

The way you live your day is a sentence in the story of your life. Each day you make the choice whether the sentence ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

We are mathematical equations where your life is the sum of all choices you've made until now. The good news is you can change the equation so that you start making a difference in your life.

What rubs off on me is hard to rub off. So, I__ better figure out what I rubbing up against.

Who you are and what you experience is based upon the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the book you read, what someone said, the weather, an argument, nor your age, that are to blame (or credit!). You, and only you, are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.

Maybe, the question isn't who will look good by your side, who will make these days less dull, who will bring you the greatest financial benefit, who will be the one to bring you pleasure, who do you have the most in common with?.... Maybe, the question one should ask is who do you want at your side when you are dying?

Listen, Google,_ I will say, __oth John and Paul are courting me. I like both of them, but in a different way, and it__ so hard to make up my mind. Given everything you know, what do you advise me to do?__nd Google will answer: __ell, I know you from the day you were born. I have read all your emails, recorded all your phone calls, and know your favourite films, your DNA and the entire history of your heart. I have exact data about each date you went on, and if you want, I can show you second-by-second graphs of your heart rate, blood pressure and sugar levels whenever you went on a date with John or Paul. If necessary, I can even provide you with accurate mathematical ranking of every sexual encounter you had with either of them. And naturally enough, I know them as well as I know you. Based on all this information, on my superb algorithms, and on decades_ worth of statistics about millions of relationships _ I advise you to go with John, with an 87 per cent probability of being more satisfied with him in the long run.Indeed, I know you so well that I also know you don__ like this answer. Paul is much more handsome than John, and because you give external appearances too much weight, you secretly wanted me to say __aul_. Looks matter, of course; but not as much as you think. Your biochemical algorithms _ which evolved tens of thousands of years ago in the African savannah _ give looks a weight of 35 per cent in their overall rating of potential mates. My algorithms _ which are based on the most up-to-date studies and statistics _ say that looks have only a 14 per cent impact on the long-term success of romantic relationships. So, even though I took Paul__ looks into account, I still tell you that you would be better off with John.

Chiron had said once that nations were the most foolish of mortal inventions. "No man is worth more than another, wherever he is from.""But what if he is your friend?" Achilles had asked him, feet kicked up on the wall of the rose-quartz cave. "Or your brother? Should you treat him the same as a stranger?""You ask a question that philosophers argue over," Chiron had said. He is worth more to you, perhaps. But the stranger is someone else's friend and brother. So which life is more important?"We had been silent. We were fourteen, and these things were too hard for us. Now that we are twenty-seven, they still feel too hard.He is half of my soul, as the poets say. He will be dead soon, and his honor is all that will remain. It is his child, his dearest self. Should I reproach him for it? I have saved Briseis. I cannot save them all. I know, now, how I would answer Chiron. I would say: there is no answer. Whichever you choose, you are wrong.

In choosing a mate, don't pick the tallest and most handsome or the most beautiful. Don't choose one just because that person raises your physical passions. Look for the person who is good from within, the one with substance and worth.

A relationship will either make the majority of your life happy or miserable. It is important to take your time and make sure that it is a wise choice before making a commitment.
