Life consists of choices. A choice is a decision that weighs pros and cons relative to the individual. When you have a choice to make, the choices may be wide and the options plenty, but your decision is up to you.
I went for a hike the other day and realized a few things. Our paths are independent to ourselves and vary from time to time. Sometimes people wanted to take an easy route, then grew into a more tenacious course... and others digressed from hard to easy. Others just oscillated between both extremes. It made me consider life.
If all consequences are acknowledged, a person's choice is left up to them. It's truly up to them to weigh their pros versus cons. We all value things in different ways unique to our own experiences, thus making it impossible to comment on someone else's selections... but people still do it.
I'm here to say that there are no wrong decisions. There are no easy paths. Some people's paths are "harder" but perhaps "shorter". Other people's paths are "longer" but "smoother". A "roadblock" to some is a "challenge" to others. It really comes down to how much do you want to bite off and how much do you want to chew... at the moment. At the moment, as long as they had the cause and effect handy, it was their right decision at the time.
Walking in the shoes of another is difficult. Judging others is impossible. Their is no handbook to life... just trial and error. Make informed decisions, challenge the mind and spirit, and raise your arms at the finish line. Today is going to be a good day and even if your path is longer than you thought it might be... you are tough enough to handle it. Smile everyone :)
