The power of choice and decisions.

The single thing that differentiates us from creatures is our power of reason and choice. The choices we make in our lives can make age long impact on our overall situation at that point in time and may even exceed or go beyond that. The quality of our lives is the sum total of the choices and decisions we make day in day out. Sometimes we make choices that even we ourselves are not sure of them, and then in some cases we come to deeply regret the choices we have made after suffering the consequences or are in the process of suffering them. We wish we had not made the choices we make but what is there in wishful thinking? Absolutely nothing!

One of the skills we would never ever regret cultivating is our power of choice. When you are a 100% sure that the choice you are making is the right thing, you feel at peace and even if things do not turn out to be the way we had anticipated, we are left unperturbed because we knew we did our best.

There is a little story I would like to share with you guys:

There is this child who lived in a town. She was a girl. This girl is a very sensitive person who is fully aware of what is going on around her. She had really intense

There is this little girl who had very mighty feelings and it felt both like a gift and a curse to her. The depth at which she feels things is greater than that of an average human being. When she is hurt, she feels it deeply. When she is in a happy mood, she feels it greatly. It was like of all things with regards to feelings given to humans, hers was tenfold! These feelings where so great that they felt like an independent entity, not under her control but come and go whenever they want, fleeting in such a way that she is happy and chatty this minute, the next minute she is quiet and sad. These made it difficult for people to understand her and some people even thought that she had Multiple Personality Disorder, but it was nothing like that. This affected the decisions she made because she had to view it situation through the spectrum of each of her emotions, some of these emotions accept it while others reject it. Sometimes such situations lives her stranded with no idea as to what to do.

Now, some people say we tend to make better decisions and choices when we view them through the spectrum of reason rather than emotions but I beg to disagree. No matter how devoid of emotions we think our decisions are and think we are doing it purely from "reason", there is always a taint of emotion on it, because we have to protect ourselves, and our emotions are always at the defense to ensure that.

.....knowing quite well that it is hard to find someone who understands her, she started striving for Unity, Unity that comes when when you look at different things from different spectra, you see both the same thing, and at the same you see differences. They are the same, yet they are different. She realises that when one attains the height of Unity, there is that Oneness she wanted to attain to unify all those parts of her being. She realises that is the only way she can find true happiness and she is stilll on that path, knowing fully well that one day, she will attain it...

Hey you reading this, have you attained that Oneness yet? While riding in a canoe on a sea of emotions, have you ever tried becoming one with the Sea, 0ne with the Canoe, and 0ne with everything else in between? This is the choice that we all have to make in 0rder to learn secrets that can only be learnt in this state. Only then we acquire real invincibility over our choices, decisions....our life. That is the time we become nothing, and nothingness is the greatest beauty you can achieve in life..

Thanks for reading my little piece. I hope you enjoyed it.
