What's the answer?

Life is like a game; we make choices, we take risks and, in many ways, we're trapped.


As we go through life, our choices and decisions get harder. From being given the choice between red and blue socks at age 3, before we know it we're being asked to decide what we want to do with our future. And shortly after that, we're made to decide where we want to live, who with, how many kids we want and what we want to call them. Life's a game of swings and roundabouts, mistakes and lessons. But, it all comes down to the player; yourself. We can listen to people and take advice, but at the end of the day, there's only you who can make the decision. And it's you who has to face the consequences.


Who's to tell us that we made a wrong decision? Sometimes, I think we need to have made the wrong decisions so we can move forward and learn the lesson.


Life would be so much easier if somebody told us what to do, or showed us what consequences our actions would have. There's been many a time where I've been so scared to make a decision, that I've missed out on something or hurt somebody, or hurt myself.


I don't believe our lives are pre-programmed, like the game we play on our computer, but they are shaped by the decisions we make. And that's why we need to make them tactfully.
