Six Of One

 

Pondering Choices

 

 

Six of One And A Half Dozen Of The Other.  We have choices everyday.  They are not necessarily of a Sophie's Choice consequence but there is a choice to be made.  Not a Lady or the Tiger Behind The Door either.  You understand the impact.  

 

But there are choices we make.  With little or a lot of information in which we decide.  A snap decision.  Maybe a situation where more time, more thought is part of the scenario. 

 

Go left.  Turn Right.  Follow the leader.  Take the uncharted route. But some, maybe most, choices are quite simple.  Maybe those we face each and every day.

 

The remarkable thing is,

we have a choice everyday

regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

The attitude we will embrace for the day is one of the more important choices!

 That is exactly the way my mind works and it scares me at times that I might miss a crucial decision Michael Jacobs

Everything is so random, yet nothing seems to happen by chance. It could be confusing without good wine.

Look around - our lives are a reflection of choices made. Don't like the reflection? Make different choices. Love how forgiving life can be - and I'm generally pretty clear and direct when there is a choice to be made.

James Dray - and you obviously always know where you are. So that's a good thing. 

Sheila Anderson - very much so.  

Brian England - being genuine is important. 

 Sharon Tara - we have that opportunity each and every day.

Michael, I love the quote you shared. Our attitude can impact our choices and no matter how simple or complex we have choices to make every day.

Sometimes a "snap decision" must be made in certain situations, but if it's a very big decision the best thing to do is pray about it.  Great blog...thanks for sharing!

Good morning Micheal - some people make the decisions question.  Unfortunately, some have paralysis of analysis.

Amanda S. Davidson - choices aren't going to stop so we might as well as choose a good attitude as a good decision each day/each moment.  

Norma J. Elkins - snap decisions are a part of life.  Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities to consider all sides before making a choice. 

Grant Schneider - analysis paralysis is an issue that confronts.  

Roy Kelley - without hope we are lost in more ways.

Michael Jacobs - Choices. I'm finding more and more choices every day. The biggest challenge for me, personally, is prioritizing which choices to accept and which to put on the shelf for another day.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - prioritizing goes hand in hand with choices, doesn't it?

Endre Barath, Jr. - choices are all around us.  Each and every moment of the day.  

Joan Cox - sometimes a snap decision is called upon.  Being prepared helps.

Good eveing Michael Jacobs ,

Ahhhh..... the choices we make and many times are forced to make and not necessarily because we want to but because we need to and is the only choice at a particular time.

I love that we have choices and that we own the consequences of those choices too, Michael.

And, what a great quote:

The remarkable thing is,

we have a choice everyday

regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
