Life is all about Choices

Alice came to the fork in the road.
 “Which road do I take?” she asked.
  “Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
 “I don’t know,” Alice answered.
 “Then,” said the cat, “it doesn't matter.”


 Lewis Carroll
 Alice in Wonderland


As any adult knows, life is filled with choices.
Throughout our lives we often find ourselves standing at the end of a road,
wondering whether or not we should turn left or right.
Sometimes we find ourselves on the same road we've been traveling down,
yet we find ourselves yearning to take a turn down a different street.
The wonderful thing is that we have a choice.
Unfortunately, the hardest thing is also the fact that we have a choice.
So often we come to a place in our lives where we can decide whether we want something to stay the same or we want our lives to change,
and it can be really difficult to make large, life-changing decisions.

No matter what you're faced with, making big life decisions is never easy.
In fact, it's one of the most challenging things about life.
But it's also one of the most amazing things about life.
There are people in this world that have no choice at all.
They have no options and no outlets for change.
As terrifying as change and choice can be at times, can you imagine how terrifying it would be not to have the ability to choose?
Thanks god that we are all fortunate to have the ability to choose and it's up to us to make the most of the options and do what we can to choose wisely.
