Ever wonder why someone thinks that way, or why someone acts in that matter. Ever wonder why some people are too kind to everyone and some don't. Ever wonder why some people are so successful and some don't, and so on. Life will always make us wonder. It will make us get curious on its nitty-gritty. But we can't deny the fact that life is too broad to understand. We can't predict what will happen next. And as we journey with it, we are hopeful that we will be on the right path, the path where we wanted to be. We are hopeful that we will be the best version of ourselves. Howbeit, we have to remind ourselves as well that whatever choice we make makes who we are.

Not to mention, as we open our eyes in the morning, we already have a choice to make. It's either we stay on our bed or we move and do the things that will make the day worthwhile. It's either we drink our morning coffee, or we'll skip it for today. It's either we do some exercise, or just stay on our sofa and watch our favorite series. It's either we eat our breakfast like a king or eat like a pauper. It's either we overthink or we shift your mind into something positive, and name a few. There are a lot of choices that we make in a day and sometimes we can't deny the fact that we don't know what to choose or what to do.

In a nutshell, life is a matter of choice. It seems like a lot of paths are present in front of us and we have are the ones who will decide on what path will we take from them. Then as we choose a path, we will then choose another one, and then another one, and so on. Not to mention, as long as we live, we will take a thousand of choices every hour of everyday and that makes us who we are. Whatever choice you make from the past, made you who you are today.

For instance, on my part, way back when I was a child, my choices were always on my comfort zone. I didn't want to take risk because I feel like it was not a safe place for me to stay with. I feel like I just want to stay on my comfort zone to stay away stay away from chaos in the mind. Back then, it was a good place for me to stay with. But little did I know that those choices that I have from the past were never good as it never helped me to be at my best, or to be the best version of myself. Instead, I developed a sense of fear whenever I encountered something in my life. It seems like I don't want to dive into everything that makes me fear as I don't want to experience something unpleasant.

But as I grow older, I realized the traits that I have developed that's not good for me. Such as not being a risk-taker. Whenever I feel fear, I don't want to face it. The moment that I reflected that those things are not good for me, I have decided to improve myself for me to be a better one. I then take the path towards a better me, I take the decisions that are total opposite of my usual decisions. I decided to be a risk-taker in someway. And as of the moment, I am grateful that I have overcome my fear in someway whenever something new popped up in front of me. I may experience fear most of the time whenever I do something, but instead of pulling myself back, I do it anyway with the fear I have been feeling. What I put inside my mind is that, what I want is on the other side of fear, so it's either I'll do it even with fear, or I will not do it and feel regretful in the end.

Just so you know, I'm glad that I was able to choose a different path as of the moment. I'm glad that I never stick to my previous self who keeps on feeling inferior on things. I realized that I never stayed on my comfort zone. I realized that I will not reach the goal that I have in mind if I stick to the path away from all the risks of life.

It always make me the happiest to know that I have people in my life who are supportive enough in the journey that I am taking. I'm beyond blessed to have people in my life who are there for me cheering me always. I appreciate you all.

We can always choose a different path

What we are today is the reflection of our choices before. But it doesn't mean that we already build something that we are today, we can't choose a different path. Just so you know, we can always choose a different path that could help us reach the goal we have in mind for ourselves.

So if you don't like the person you are now, don't just undulge on being down or soak yourself to negativity, you have a choice to make. Choose what you thought best fit for you, choose for the betterment of yourself. As whatever choice you make will be a reflection of who you are in the future.

You have to remind youself to choose wisely in the decisions that you are about to take.

Closing Thoughts

Life is indeed a matter of choice. So bear in mind that your choices in life will somehow tell what your future will hold, or what you will become. Your choices have a power to turn you into someone you never think you would become. With that, always be wise on your choices, and choose the path where you wanted to be. Focus as well on the present as your choices today will be a reflection of your future you.
