We always have a choice. I always believed that. Sometimes we just get so blinded with the circumstances that we feel we are left with no choice at all. But truth be told, there is always a choice – though, we just could not accept something as a “choice” when we do not want the consequences we are going to face with that choice. We choose our own adventure and in making a choice, we should accept the consequences for there is no turning back.
In making a choice, we sometimes forget the consequences – how varied it can be. Sometimes, we get caught up in the moment that we tend to overlook possible consequences – consequences that not only affects us but other people as well. We sometimes forget to take into consideration worst case scenarios and somehow hope that things will change for the better.
We all know that the only constant thing in this world is change. It is inevitable. Change may be for the better or for the worse. But with the changes in life, we either embrace it or adjust to it.
With such changes being permanent, I guess it would be pointless to complain. Sure, you can speak out for that is your right. But try not to complain and just do what you ought to do.
Unfortunately, we tend to complain a lot. Instead of doing so, we must assess what we can control. Let go of things which is beyond our control and concentrate on what is at hand. I know this is hard because there are things that just come naturally. No matter how much we avoid to dwell on things, there will always be those stuff that we constantly think over. Although, these stuff shall pass eventually.
One thing that we can control is our being complacent. We tend to be satisfied with what is on hand that we forget that we can still do more. We can always push ourselves to our maximum capacity. Just go the distance and we will eventually reap results.
I sometimes cannot comprehend why we tend to be complacent at times. Our conscience must be our guide in our every day lives. Unfortunately, I think there are many levels of such conscience. Something which bothers me might not be bothersome at all for another.
Yes, we are different. I do not expect everyone to agree with everyone. I do not expect everyone to be friendly with everyone. Nevertheless, two ends can still meet. Try to compromise. In the end, nobody really ends up losing.
When we have reached a compromise or whatever agreement there is, be committed. We must deliver what we have promised. If we cannot deliver, then, do not make such commitment. In that case, it is better not to expect at all.
Oh well! I might be wrong. But that’s okay for I have always known that human beings are always complicated! J
