The choices we make tend to build out the direction we live our lives in. The thing that gives my life the most direction is what factors I take into account when I make choices. Is it kind/compassionate? Am I doing the right thing? Will this put me or my loved ones at risk, or harm anyone? Is this choice necessary in order to meet my goals? Will this choice make me happy, or support long-term happiness? I feel if I make choices based on the things that are most important to me, I’ll end up in the direction I want to be, or that fits me the best.
I feel a lot of people’s choices are half chance, because we don’t get a choice in many of the factors that make up our experiences. We can help offset that by being mindful and deliberate about the choices we make, and I try to do that as much as possible. Of course, sometimes I also just flip a coin!
