just a thought
for the past week or two, i've been thinking about choices.
president hinckley said, "the course of our lives is seldom determined by great, life-altering decisions. our direction is often set by the small, day-to-day choices that chart the track on which we run. this is the substance of our lives- making choices."
for the past year i've forgotten how important it is for me to actively make choices. i'm indecisive by nature, and a lot of times i sit and wait passively to see what happens. i suppose that's in and of itself a decision, but not a good one. it's not alright. i regret so much of the past year. i regret the many, many non choices i made... and i hate regretting. when i read that quote by president hinckley, it made me remember the perspective i used to have on agency. i've been trying to put it back into practice. for the past weeks, i've been actively choosing what i do and how i do it. it's so good. i feel like i'm making the best choices with the information i'm given, and i think that's all i'm expected to do. i don't feel passive. i don't feel like a non-chooser. when i'm dealing with the consequences, good or bad, i don't regret anything.i refuse to be sorry for the choices i've made.
no matter how insignificant they might be.
or what they ended up causing.
not that every choice that i made in the past weeks has ended well. i didn't say i was a genius at being a chooser, i just said i was doing my best.
