Remember this article I posted many moons back abt chance and choice? Well it suddenly hit me again today and it helped put a lot of things into perspective..well at least for today until I wake up tomorrow and wonder again why life can be such a drag.
Everything in life might actually start out as a chance, but eventually it becomes a choice. Take for example my current job. By chance it dropped onto my lap when I was not really looking, and by choice i decided to take it up. Today I do admit I regret a bit having made that choice, but because it was my choice, so I have to stick with it. Do or die I have to stick with it till my choice becomes a joy.
And that's exactly the same with so many other things in life isn't it? You may dream so much of getting that sleeky BMW and by choice you bought it,but then lives to regret it cause the monthly maintenance fees is draining dry your entire life savings.But can you sell off the car? NO WAY! How can one downgrade a car :-p Well thankfully I got a City so at least it low petrol consumption :)
How about my dog? By chance some bitch decided to give birth to a black and white pup just when I was looking for a schnauzer doggy, and by choice I bought her and named her Mojo. But then mother's choice was stronger (heck I can't even name my own dog!) and Mojo became Crystal. First I thought I got a cute adorable doggy, and the next thing I know is I have a monster that pees and poo at any spot she deems smells "good". But yeah...she's my choice and I have to bear with mother's nagging and poop scooping till this choice becomes a joy too. Did I also mention this choice is kinda high maintenance too since she eats like a horse and not like a dog, and needs monthly "hair-styling" else she looks like some street beggar. Ermm...but no regrets on this one. All the hardwork pays off when she looks into your eyes and give u the most loving lick on your face ever :)
As for the men..hmmm, I think fate is the thing we call chance, and my claws on the men is what we call choice..hahaha. Just joking ok! The men will be so lucky if I even want to lay one fingertip on them :-p But so far I think my choices have been pretty OK - of course they are OK choices till they became history. Now history repeats itself and I chance upon what seem a lovely man again. One thing I learnt though - it is our choice if we want to discover the lovely or the horrible man. It is our choice if we want to be deaf to the unpleasant and our choice if we want to turn a blind eye to that which should remain unseen. Knowing everything and doing nothing is a choice. Knowing nothing and hoping for everything is also a choice. My choice today is to walk the path that remains hazy. I am afraid, I am worried and indeed I am crazy. But eventhough I know I cannot trust my decision, yet I know I can trust God.
And of course making a wrong choice once or twice won't kill :D
