iNTROSPECTIVE…

But we are who we are, because of the decisions that we make. Because of what we choose, because of what we decide not to choose. Because of what we have been through. And all of it comes down to the basics; that is the human nature. However predictable our decisions and actions may be, there is a high improbability about our reaction to every situation. There is always a multitude of ways in which we can possibly react. But we choose… every time… just one path. And that is how life unfolds for us.

A friend once told me, “Life unfolds before us as it is supposed to.” It is probably true. But we are the ones making the decisions for our life to unfold the way it does.

I am just completing my education now. And before me there is a wide choice of what I can do. I can choose to study further, or get a job and work. Or work for a couple of years now and then think about higher education. And even if I make any of these choices, I have many options to choose my sector for higher education, or for a job.

What I am saying is that there are many ways in which my life may unfold when I think of it. But finally when I make my decision, it’ll be me who will be deciding how things unfold for me. We normally do not realize, but even the smallest of decisions can have big effects on our lives. Taking a wrong turn for coffee, missing a lecture and going somewhere else, playing an online game, sleeping at home when I’m supposed to be out. All these small decisions that we make can lead to monumental happenings without us even meaning for them to happen.
