MY POINT:
Every single choice has a consequence, every one, the good ones and the not so good ones.
So, regardless of one’s decision, to choose or to not choose, one must deal with the outcome.
Which begs the question…..?
If one must face the consequences of choices, those made willingly and unwillingly, why not have a say in the matter since one is… by default inherently forced to live with? After all, seldom is every decision the best or right choice; sometimes it’s simply a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils until a better more feasible option presents itself.
The relevant truth to all this philosophical meandering am doing here is to say. Choices and its inherent end results allows us to grow and learn to become self-governing. Within every choice/consequence there are lessons, whether it is good, bad, or indifferent, there are lessons to be learnt.
So do not dwell morosely on the very human experience of sometimes making poor decisions, rather get the lessons therein designs specifically for you. Learn from your mistakes/missteps/mishaps, forgive yourself your humanness, implement lessons learnt into your landscape of knowledge, build your discernment, teach yourself to recognize the pattern of poor choice and try not to repeat errs in judgement.
Most of all, trust yourself.
Be a great day people.....much love.
A Side Note:
We not only learn from our own mistakes. We learn from the mistakes of others as we need not experience everything in order to learn and grow.

Well when one learns, one is sure wiser and the choices better, if we learn that is.

DeleteSalam
well life is in the choices and good choices make a good life and the other way around,, so far nobody I have known has made all the right choices or the wrong ones we are all just choosing to be what we are whether we know it or not,,,, I have to admit there have been a few times I have wished to be someone else still I chose to be me so I must be doing something right,,,,, glad to see you visiting,, it is always good to have friends
ReplyDeleteVery enlightening. Thank you for sharing.....
Deletegreat friends are a blessing.
i’ll chew on what you’ve said here and gt back to you about my sensations, ok?
ReplyDeletehmmmmm, you do that.
DeleteAn excellent post!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteTo the point, I love the content of this post. You mentioned "Most of all trust yourself". I suppose at times we don't have that faith within us so whilst consciously making a choice instead we second guess the outcome in the same breath.
ReplyDeleteFear is a bugger for spoiling things indeed.
Yeah, sometimes when we make poor choices we become fearful of trusting ourselves. Self-trust is key to developing ones path.
DeleteSecond guessing i.e. self-doubt, oh that's a beast.
Great post! Thanks for some additional food for thought
ReplyDeletethanks......food for thought is always good, stimulates the mind.
DeleteGreat post. Thanks for the additional food for thought
ReplyDeleteBlessings and thank you kindly.
DeleteFood for thought is always a good thing, makes you think, turn things around and look at it from another angle.
Very succinctly put.I fully agree with you.You rightly said even not making a choice is a choice!
ReplyDeleteSure you're right....
DeleteI like that word....succinctly
I too always want to choose instead of letting it be..
ReplyDeletehmmmm.....proactive.....yeah
DeleteEverything is a choice. I completely agree with you.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.....
Deletethank you
How true are you words and dead on. Loved this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI have had my fair share of both good and bad decisions..... ..all a learning life experience that we gather and call it wise sayings or wisdom.
ReplyDeletewell said, thank you for sharing.
DeleteThank you for this excellent post. I have to remind myself to forgive myself sometimes for dumb things that I might have done.
ReplyDeleteYeah sometimes we are hardest on ourselves.
Deleteall learning - life that is
Taking decisions is a must - right or wrong. Over a period of time as you grow & mature you slowly learn the art of taking good decisions. There is no such thing as a right or wrong decision. What is right for you may be wrong for another. You must take decisions that are good for you !
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, very astute and enlightening, thank you kindly for sharing.
DeleteThank you for all the time to help very much ourlife!
ReplyDeleteEvery choice/consequence need to be leasnt of there whether it is good bad or indifferent there are lessons to be lcarnt.
Most of all trust yourself and Agree to Disagree...
We having A HOT weather days for more then few month...and I will think next time month will be started the raining all the time? I hope not happent us anymore....
Have a wonderful day for you!
Yes consequences bring with it lessons.
DeleteIt is still freezing and snowing here. Enjoy your heat!
Very well put Rhapsody. Regardless what choices we make, there is always a repercussion. Funny thing is, I have learnt that there are no mistakes. Mistakes are to me but unplanned actions that result in unplanned results. Looking back at my life yeah, most things I saw as mistakes then, inevitably made me the me I am. #grateful
ReplyDeleteNot too digress too much, I couldn't agree with you more. Not making a decision in its own is a decision.
Pretty neat Blog. I like it here. Hope to stay long here :)

Blessings and welcome.
DeleteIt is always great to get another voice, another point of view in on the ongoing dialogue. Mistakes I like to call life lessons/guidelines on what not to do, what is not working signalling time to try something new, take another path and so on.
