This whole world and everything we know, are based on choices. We all make important, life changing decisions and opportunities, and if we don't look around and pay attention, we might miss them. You always hear people telling you how to make your decisions, and odds are they know what's best, considering they know from experience, but you have to learn to make important choices by yourself. Of course, there are the little ones that don't make that much of a difference, but there are also the ones that can set the course for your life. Because of these choices, I am choosing to write about this topic.
Because of the normal human flaws, we don't always make the best decisions. But sometimes, It doesn't make that big of a shift in your life. Choices like deciding what toothpaste we should by, choosing to take the bus over driving, or downloading a new song from iTunes are decisions that would not make that big of a difference. Life is full of these choices, while some of them might seem useless, they help us with decision making.
Now, you know there aren't just little choices in life. There are always the ones that a huge chunk of our lives may be a result of that single choice. Some examples are: Marriage, career choice, and following the law. We will choose right and we will choose wrong in the times there are these choices. But some of these choices, which can sometimes be crystal clear, can be about as certain as the next song on your iPod when on shuffle. We don't have a definite answer to almost any of our choices.
Sometimes, we think something is not a major choice, but it could prove to be the most important one in our life. I heard a quote someone said, "There are many important choices in life, but some can be missed in the blink of an eye. In 20 seconds your whole world could be changed by a certain decision you have made." I think that it's strange to think that a decision that is happening in front of you, with no warning signs or signals, has the power to change your life. Also, a collection of these small choices can equal something big. Like if you choose to not buy toothpaste, not to shower once a day, skip shaving once or twice, could all add up to a person's perspective about you. In that certain example, I'm sure that someone would say something like, "You are absolutely discussing." *Personal hygiene is important.*
Well, I fit in all the comma rules I needed to in this cute little essay, so I'll start to close. Life is full of choices, and we need to pay attention or we could miss something important. There are choices that don't really matter, choices that matter a lot, and little decisions that end up mattering. We cannot control the outcome of unknown decisions, but they will always turn out the way they are supposed to.
