Choices?

Life presents several choices. Sometimes, we are aware of our choices. Mostly we do not even realise we are choosing.

The choice to go on or to stay on...

The choice to be happy or seek happy...

The choice to be in the here and now or to be in the past or the future....

The choice to have and be friends or to give up on people in your life...

This is only a beginning of a list that might be as unending as the calculation for the value of pi!
And as fascinating!!

Each choice opens a new possibility. And each choice defines a new reality. We assume that time moves on. We take for granted that the people in our life will grow with time and look for a better future. We always have the choice, however, to realise that WE move through time. And the secret to self realisation is not in waiting for tomorrow to bring us better tidings nor wish we could relive or change our past.

We let our reflexes take over rather than be aware of what our choices are. We are so lost in trying to live that we forget to live!

We see darkness... and let fear take over. We forget that we are not afraid of the dark but what is in it!

We reach a pinnacle... and let fear take over. We forget that we are not afraid of the height but of falling down!

We see people around us... and often let fear take over. We forget that we are not afraid of people but of rejection!

We fall in love... and sometimes... let fear take over. We forget that we are not afraid of love but just of not being loved back!

We fall... and let fear take over. We forget that we are not afraid of trying again but simply getting hurt for the same reasons!

We choose fear over a clear and present joy, love and contentment.

We can choose otherwise!

Sometimes... the choices are not so clear.
How do you choose between good and good? How do you choose between a child and another? How do you choose between light and light? We choose only for a moment- and in that moment we redefine our existence. We choose a reality that we inhabit and forget that reality. For our life to be joy, we need to be more aware of a moment... in eternity... in infinity... NOW
