Decisions, Decisions...

Life is full of options. When you think about it, every single little thing we do is just an option. Every choice we make has a counterpart or an opposing choice. And it's up to us to make that decision, to choose one of the options in hopes that it is the right choice. But, of course, everyone's definition of the "right" choice is different. Some may define the right choice as the one that holds the most monetary value. Others may choose something based on the effort they need to put into it (typically choosing the option requiring the least amount of work). Some may make the right decision, only because they know it is right, not because they necessarily want to. And some flat out make the wrong decision and know it's the wrong decision. 


A lot of our decision-making is based on basic right vs. wrong. This obviously needs to stay intact in order for us to be decent human beings. But what if all of our decisions were based off of one simple question: Which option will make me a better person? Which option will bring me fulfillment? (okay, two simple questions) After asking yourself these questions, wouldn't the decision-making process be easier? And in turn, wouldn't your life be easier, knowing you made the "right" decision, strictly based on the idea that life is all about bettering yourself and bettering those around you? 


That's what I learned today; that decisions can be made easier by asking yourself a simple question. Once the decision is made, there is no remorse. And life can continue to be lived, with a brighter and more positive road ahead of you.
