Wondering.

Does anyone else out there wonder how you got where you are today? What were the events leading up to this point in your life? What happened? Do you ever wonder if you had not taken that one turn, gone to that specific bar, walked into that one store, took that specific job, turned down that one date, or accepted that one date, one action, one thought; a two-second decision which changed your life forever.

I do. I wonder where I would be, what I would be doing. Each choice I have made has sent my life on a completely different course. Good or bad, they were decisions I made and I need to make the best of them. But still, you can't help but wonder.

So how do we make the best of the situation? I guess when a situation occurs because of a split second decision one needs to look at all aspects, all sides. Some things about the situation you will be unable to change. Other things will be under your control which you can change. Figure out what you can control and make the best of it.

I wish I had taken the time to put more thought into some of the decisions I made. But I did not, and I am left picking up the pieces. So many of us find ourselves in those situations each day. The situations are different for everyone, but everyone has their own problems, their own obstacles to deal with. Not one person goes through life without trials. Some people don't let others know about their trials and we may think that person "has it all". But we do not see what goes on behind closed doors. It's all on how we look at things; the choices we make and how we respond to each individual situation is what makes all the difference in the world.
