EVERY DECISION CHANGES THE FUTURE

Earlier I wrote about recent events in my life that led me to start this blog. For one it's almost 2am and I'm still up! I actually don't feel all that tired but feel the need to write about this. For every decision that we make there is a consequence, an outcome, a result of that decision. Some of those decisions can be as simple as turning left at a certain intersection when you always turn right on the ride home. Others can be as major as taking a job in a city that would require you to uproot your family and start a new life elsewhere. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I think about how different my life would be if I thought about a decision and its consequence before I actually acted upon it. Acting as opposed to reacting in some cases. Even the most minute aspect of my life can have such an impact on my future for the better or for the worse. An example I would give would be the decision to strike up a conversation with a total stranger. People interest me. A phenomenon that I have always thought of is that an individual can have a life so separate from mine and yet we could have very similar interests to the point where if I knew that person, it would literally change my life. Though too much pondering of the past can be detrimental, reflection of earlier events in one's life can produce powerful actions for the future.
