Choices are scary

Posted by May on Friday, January 14, 2011

Have you ever felt like every time you are force to make a decision, the decision you choose could either make or break your day? It could either strengthen a friendship or break a friendship? For me, my choices always seems to find it's way back to haunt me - never failing to leave me with regret. At times, even trusting my own instinct seems to end up being the worst possible decision.

It's bad enough knowing you made the wrong decision but knowing that you aren't able to walk back in your foot steps and change your choices - that thought scares me.

It's the fear of choosing between our choices and not knowing the outcome that sends shivers running down our spine. It's not so much about taking risk, but knowing that if we ever regret our decision, we are force to live with the consequences of our choices that really scares us. It's our conscience that stays rooted at the back of our mind that ends up torturing us.

And at times, when we find that we have no choice but to trust our own instinct, that is probably the moment in time where we are really made to stop in our tracks and think about which route to take.

I've always told myself that as much as we can dodge our responsibilities, we can never dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. Sure, there are times, we should take risk because we never know where the road might take us.

When we choose the right path, we very rarely wonder to ourselves the outcome of choosing the other path. But, when we make the wrong choices/decisions, we are always force to wonder...

what would happen if we took the other path?

would the grass be greener on the other side?
