CHOICES

Sages say “the choices a man makes are what make him”. The availability of options in life gives us the opportunity to make choices; the choice to be good, evil, holy, successful or even; a failure. Great men have always been known and distinguished by the choices they have had to make. The one thing that separates great people from ordinary people is the choice to stand for whatever they believe in no matter how foolish others may take it to be, in the end the foolishness that plays out often becomes wisdom.

The options that most likely come to us in certain situations may seem at times difficult but if we choose to make the choices and do the right things at the right time, most likely everything turns out to be good. I have had to make decisions out of some certain difficult situations and I definitely know it’s never an easy thing to do. In making certain life choices such as those involving family, one mustn’t be too hasty about things. One major thing I ask myself when making tough choices is the fact that, will the outcome make only me happy? , will it be to my own benefit and to that of others? Or, will it be just to satisfy my own ego or my own gains, will it benefit those around me. When making certain choices we should consider our happiness as well as the happiness of those around us. We must make sure, most especially that it is the right thing to do.

The choice to be successful lies in our own hands all we need to do is make the choice and most especially start work towards it. If we choose to do nothing about our present situation we would most likely remain where we are. One can only move forward if we choose to do so. Every single invention known to change the course of things are as a result of peoples choices to do so. Successful people are only successful because they choose to be so.

We as individuals must always choose to stand up for what is right and whatever we believe in. A saying goes thus, “if we choose to stand for nothing, we will most likely fall for anything”. We must always choose to speak up for what is right and do it at the right time.  We as youths and individuals must make the choice to stand up. Though generations past may have given us next to nothing, but the main thing we will always have is the strength to believe, the belief we have forms the tool to make new beginnings for ourselves, to put ourselves on platforms where the world can see us and identify us. But it all depends on the choices we make; the choice to make it or break it.
