Life! Life is about choices. We first must think before we act. The idea is fundamental to... life. We say, "I wasn't thinking!", when we do something we wish we hadn't. But that can't really be as it takes thought to produce actions. The more a thought is repeated the deeper the reflex is made which causes the action to appear spontaneous. Reflexes are actions which are caused by electrical connections which are sometimes involuntary muscle movements like a twitch. But these actions can hardly be called meaningful acts resulting in anything resembling structured creative movement. Thoughts must be involved if the end result of an action is to be recognized as structurally balanced and meaningful.
Life has a way of bringing us to our senses or our knees! Given enough time we find ourselves wishing we had listened to the sound advice of a parent or friend. We learn by making mistakes. But we can also learn by choosing to choose! Choosing things which can bring others happiness. Choosing to live our lives by the Golden Rule - Dealing with others as we wish they would deal with us. Putting the other person first before our own desires and wants. Seeking the high road instead of confrontation. Knowing when to stand our ground and when to let go. All choices.
In life we have all the time in the world to live. But in living we must make instant choices for better or for worse. It is a risk we must accept. To be ignorant of this detail is to live a life of loss and despair. A life filled with doom and gloom. Nothing can take the place of thinking thoughts. What thoughts a person thinks ends up shaping the person. Life choices are sometimes small - sometimes profound. In all situations we should stop and think. Choose! Create a sense of purpose! Life is about choices... Choose carefully!
