Choices

"Some choices are easy, some are not. Those are the difficult ones, the ones that defines us as individuals." -Taken from the movie 23.


Choices in life comes naturally all the time. Be it simple decisions such as taking the bus or train or difficult life decisions such as whether to do it or not. But what makes a decision tough?

Albert Einstein said, 'The fear of consequence is the driving force to failure.'

The fear of losing, the fear of rejections, the fear of dropping out and the fear of failing.
These are the fears of consequence as defined by Einstein.
When these fears occurs, it makes one fear the first step causing a difficult situation where one has to choose. Be it a simple or tough decision, the pros and cons are weighed where you hope to see which side's heavier. but never often a time when this situation of weighing the pros and cons occur, there is a biased side that wins.

Life comes with a simple manner of choices where even the occam's razor doesn't help (for those in RP that knows this). walking down a simple straight road? wrong. life is so full of ups and downs, it forms a maze where a simple decision to turn left may occur in a repetition of events. Every decision comes a consequence of some degree, fear it and you may lose the very opportunity and chance of succeeding.

But always have patience to read on to the second part of Einstein's famous words. This fear is the driving force to failure. Who in life lives to fail? who in life lives to seek failure? thus, why let this fear rob you of what you can become? why let this fear get the better of you.


"It may not be the happiest of endings. But it surely is the right one." -taken from the movie 23.

Never fear the consequence that comes, for even the worst ending may be a blessing in disguise. Did all the geniuses out there that invented things always have good success?

The genius (forgot his name) that invented popsicle stick. He left a stick by chance in his drink and left in overnight and thus, popsicle stick was formed. Was that a strike of genius? NO! it was an accident turned invention. He bound to have been scolded by his parents or something for doing something stupid BUT! it worked out as something we see so often these days. An example of blessings in disguise.

So, Even the worst endings and the chance of having the worst concequences be there? never fear it for you never know what to expect and whats to come. Don't waste an opportunity of chance. It may never return again as it is. Bad endings? it may just be the right one. Live not to fear, live to fight it!

"Fear is the stepping stone to success. Embrace it as a part of life. Challenge it!"
