If there is one thing I have learned over the years, is that it takes one moment, one person one thought, one action, one move to change your life forever, to color your thinking, to force you to reevaluate everything you have ever known. To ask yourself the toughest questions, do you know who you are? Do you understand the consequences of your action? Do you want to live this way for the rest of your life?

Choices. Choices. Choices. Every day we wake up to a world of endless possibilities. We make a decision whether or not to go to school, work, among others. We are surrounded by different ideas, that factors into every decision that we make. And so why do some of us end up making the wrong choice? Why do some of us make a choice to give up the whole world just so that our fellow humans can smile while others try to gain the whole world just so that they can make a mockery of others?

We are a complex ecosystem. We are humans capable of greatness. Our words, actions, thought can change someone’s life forever, yet we chose to speak the wrong things, act the wrong way and think the wrong thought. It might surprise you to know that 85% of the things we tend to worry about never happens. This begs the question of ‘how do we make the right choice’?

Have you ever seen the tides at the beach? Have you ever seen the cloud formation? These things in nature just happen. Nature doesn’t make a choice on how the clouds would look like. Nature never makes a mistake. No matter what choices we make, we must be able to trust our intuition. Whether or not our choices are bad, it can lead us to a point where we can fully trust our brains. We can be like nature, whether an earthquake or a tornado, we can trust that the aftermath will help us rebuild and make us stronger. Our choices define who we are. So the next time you have a choice to make, think of the clouds; they are never misshaped and they always do the right thing. Just be still and make the right choice.
