There are times when things do not go your way. These moments are usually termed as dark moments. There is an old adage that speaks of a light at the end of the tunnel. It essentially speaks of a sense of direction for people to look towards and more so a glimmer of hope to hang on to. While this hope may be of the faintest light, yet it is because of this hope that many things that were once deemed as impossible are accomplished.
In these darkest hours, there are choices for you to make. A choice to lament. A choice to self-reproach. A choice to blame. A choice to preservers. You have choices, in fact many more choices than the ones listed here. Yet, are your choices made out of your own accord or were they made because of the influence of others? Yet, sometimes we have to make choices for the interest of others like your loved ones. Such choices may be termed as sacrifices but they still are ultimately choices you make.
When these moments of darkness have passed, you begin to reflect and ponder. The mind starts to wonder and think of the what ifs and possibilities. It is a rather cathartic effect. Can we really say that we live by our choices? Or are we just hypocrites to the inner core, painting a facade to others and more importantly to ourselves? Is that a choice we undertake or part of the intricate make-up of the human mind to protect and defend oneself?
Regrets. All of us have them.
Opportunity. All of us have them knocking at our door too.
Yet, it is only a fine thin line that separates the two.
Choices.
