You make your own choices in life. Whether good or bad, the situations you’re in is the result of what have you chosen before. The path that you’re now walking on is what you have chosen consciously or subconsciously. You cannot put the blame on anyone with the situation you’re in simply because that is your decision.

Yes harsh as it may sound, but your failures are all your fault. You are given a freewill to do whatever you want so when you chose to stick with your current job rather than risk a new career which eventually took by someone else and succeeded in the process, the only one at fault is you. How would you know that your choice will be an epic fail? The simple answer is that no one knows. Isn’t it sick? But the thing is, that makes life interesting. Your choices will still be in a transparent pool until you move forward and put color in it. Your choices will give life to a new adventure or none at all. Your choices creates a beautiful mess or a spilled ink.

But do you want to know the secret to stop guessing whether that choice is good or not? Simple again, analyze the situation you are in and the choices you can make with its outcome. Well… not so simple but hey, it is worth a try. If you are given a choice please analyze everything first before making a decision, and hopefully you won’t regret anything. Analyze first because that is where you will see everything in black and white. I like how some people are technical yet creative, well you got to be that person. Analyzing situations isn’t easy but frankly needed to avoid mishaps. Are you thinking of moving to another city, switching career path, starting a family, investing in a start-up company or simply going to school or work? Well, analyze everything!

Once you’re done analyzing, now is the time to think about possible choices you can make. Easy peasy? Just wait a minute. Coming up with choices is just the easy part, you still need to think or imagine the outcome of those choices. This way you can see clearly what will happen thus making a good choice in the end. Choosing is the hardest and most important part that’s why you really need to be creative on imagining outcomes or setbacks on each available choices. No, this is not paranoia. It’s called stirring away from bad choices.

Life is all about choices. That’s what makes it interesting and beautiful at the same time. Although a lot of us are struggling in our choices now, always remember that there will always be a rainbow after a rain. Keep your head up, analyze well, think of new choices and use your imagination to see possible outcomes so you are a step-ahead of the game called life.
