To do, or Not To Do...

At different times in our lives, we must make decisions that will affect the rest of our lives. Now, usually when we have such a major decision to make, we have a group of people with whom we confer to receive counsel, or for help with seeing "the big picture."

What happens then, when those to whom you would ordinarily turn to, are the very cause of the situation which brought about the need of the decision? Frustrating, right?

Every day. Every moment of every day, we make small decisions that gently mold us into who we are- what to eat, what to buy, when to go to bed, what car to drive... But then, on a much less frequent scale, we are faced with a decision that may potentially dump our world upon its head.

It is this type of decision I am faced with- but the answer I choose holds a great deal of consequence- not only for me, but for at least five other lives. I could just say "be damned! I'm going to do this...." but then I could really screw something up!

Once you get married, or enter a relationship of similar status, once you have children, life gains an enormous complexity that is just did not have previously. Do I do this? Do I do that? Until the right choice becomes clear, I guess I must muse upon the choices and pray I make the right one.

When the time comes to finalise my decision, I will let you know. Until then, I am just going to wait.

  1. Waiting is good. I am faced with some life decisions myself. I know it will turn out the way it's supposed to. Heart and mind war, may the best one win.

  2. As life runs by, we all face decisions, major and minor. All different, but all so important to who we become and how we live!

    Thanks for your comment.
