Life is all about the choices that we make as we go along they say.. I have always believed this to be true..
Since the time most of us have enough thinking capability (usually teens) , our life is shaped by the choices that we make. In my own case, choosing my high school was probably the last decision that my parents made on their own. Then on, everything in my life has been a choice that I have made or a direct outcome of that.
What is that we look for when we make choices? How do we know if we are making the right choice? There has been one simple guiding rule I have followed and believed in. Every choice that we make has to give us either happiness or peace. If the choice results in an outcome which is not giving us either of the above, we have made try wrong choice.
Though not impossible, it's very rare that our choice gives us both - Happiness and Peace. If it gives us either of the above, I think we can go with the choice that we have made.
There will be times when we make a choice that is usually not accepted socially or believed by others as right. However, in pursuit of our happiness, it should be acceptable for us. Similarly, doing what everybody believes to be right, but seldom followed by them will give us peace and hence a better choice.
However selfish it may sound, pursuing choices which gives us happiness or peace is extremely important for our well being..
