Choices choices everywhere


Life is not linear. 

Everything I do is like dropping a pebble into the water.  There are repercussions following repercussions on and on until who knows what happens.

I cannot imagine not having something to write about because just getting out of bed in the morning opens the possibilities for so many things to happen and every single thing I do after that magnifies these possibilities.  My options are not doubled and tripled and quadrupled.  They are factored!

The hard part is deciding what to concentrate on, what parts do I believe are important enough that I choose them to be what my life is about?

Sometimes it may seem like there are no choices, but there really are.  In a world governed by hard and fast scientific laws like gravity, there are really only so many things that can happen.  Not much brand new ever really occurs, but how I choose to respond to these things may be new to me.

After a while, my way of responding is not so new either.  It becomes who I am, a collection of decisions made and choices plucked from the vast array that surrounds me in every moment.

And if I regret one of my choices, the world will not end.  I simply have to choose differently in the future and there will still be many choices.

Cause life is not linear.
