Everyday of life we make choices, significant and miniscule.
No duh, right?
And then sometimes we have these big decisions, typically made up of a bunch of smaller choices leading to the grand finale, the decision.
What do I do with my life?
Should I date him/her?
Where should I live?
What chance should I take/not take?
We're told to be sure we think things through, to weigh the pros and cons, to ask for advice, but not too much advice, and then we're told we should just go with our gut.
So which is it? Our brain or our heart? Our friends or ourselves? Up or down? Right or wrong?
But
What if it's not either/or?
What if there is no right or wrong?
What happens if you try "A" and fall on your face?
You get up, and you try "B," not because "A" was wrong and "B" could be right, but because you tried "A" and that "A" in all of its "A-ness" didn't work out 100%.
But guess what?
You're not dead. And after trying "A" you have more experience, broader pre-knowledge, a new perspective.
But what happens if "B" finds you face planting once more?
You get up. You're alive. You have more experience, broader pre-knowledge, and a new perspective.
So maybe the answer isn't "A" or "B," but "AB" or "aB" or any other combination.
Maybe there isn't a right or wrong, and maybe when you ask yourself or your friend or your Creator and Guide, "Should I pick 'A' or 'B'?" the answer is "Yep."
"Yep. Try both!"
"Yep. Try it all!"
"Yep. I'll walk beside you!"
"Yep."
Yep is scary. Yep is uncertain. But choosing yep is choosing possibility, choosing bravery.
Press on, your life overflowing with yep.
