Regardless of the reasons we made this choices they are ours and they will play a decisive role in how we live our lives, whether we will be happy or not. Here is a poem I would like you readers to read :


WE ALL LIVE THE LIFE WE CHOOSE..THE RISK WE TAKE DETERMINES THE LIFE WE CHOOSE TO LIVE.

Here's the premise: We are all, right now, living the life we choose.

This choice, of course, is not a single, monumental choice. No one decides, for example, "I'm going to move to L.A., and in five years I will be a waiter in a
so-so restaurant, planning to get my 8-by-10's done real soon so that I can find an agent and become a star," or "I'm going to marry a dreadful person and
we'll live together in a loveless marriage, staying together only for the kids, who I don't much like, either."

No. The choices I'm talking about here are made daily, hourly, moment by moment.

Do we try something new, or stick to the tried-and-true? Do we take a risk, or eat what's already on our dish? Do we ponder a thrilling adventure, or
contemplate what's on TV? Do we walk over and meet that interesting stranger, or do we play it safe? Do we indulge our heart, or cater to our fear?

The bottom-line question: Do we pursue what we want, or do we do what's comfortable?

For the most part, most people most often choose comfort - the familiar, the time-honored, the well-worn but well-known. After a lifetime of choosing
between comfort and risk, we are left with the life we currently have.

And it was all of our own choosing.


Thanks.
