Decisions, Decisions

There is a fork in the road up ahead with two roads, one to the left and one to the right. When you run into that fork, which way is the correct way to go? This is kind of like that choice Neo had in The Matrix, you know the red pill, blue pill scene. Not a fun time. There is no real way to answer that question and no one wants to end up in the rabbit hole. At one point in our lives we are faced with the question of which way do I go with the decisions at hand. Whether it is a choice to move to another state to pursue a new life or to marry someone you love. It can be scary. In fact I think it has to be scary or there wouldn't be a tough decision to make. One of the things I like to do when facing a big decision is consult every angle in my head. I know to the people who are not analytical that this can seem like a ridiculous way to go about things but there is some real value in it. It really helps me to see every scenario and be able to focus on those that are the best possible outcomes. Tough decisions can be broken down to help you get a better understanding of the working parts. I also like to consider the advice of people who are close to me in my life. I cannot overstate this. Often we put on blinders when it comes to our own life and we just force ourselves to not see what could go wrong. I know that I can offer good advice when people come to me with questions but in my own life I have a lot more trouble. Usually a good friend can point out exactly what is going on and guide you back on the right track. Remember that most of these decisions are going to affect more than one person. It can have a huge impact on a lot more people than you may realize at the time. Consider the impact that is unseen as well as what you can see clearly. Making big decisions in life can be a really rewarding experience if you take into consideration all the aspects of the decision. They can also backfire on you and you have to take the tough road. Choose carefully.
