This morning I was listening to the radio and the presenters were discussing age and various decisions that people make during their lifetime. Then I came across this article and so I started to ponder over my life decisions (as you do…) and I realized that I am actually ok with all the decisions I have made so far.
I have made lots of decisions, some good, some not so much, some quick and some well thought through (believe me, there are less of those than I would want to admit). And I concluded that there is no need to live in ‘what if’ land or endlessly regretting some of the decisions and wallowing in self-pity, because you can’t do anything about it. It’s all done and dusted, onwards and upwards my friends! Of course this doesn’t apply to mass murderers, killers, abusers, criminals and other shady characters, these are completely different ball game and I don’t really want to get into that sort of conversation. At the end of the day, we all have to learn how to live with our decisions.
So I am offering you today two pennies from the same source:
‘I suspect, most of us make an instinctive decision, and then build up an infrastructure of reasoning to justify it.’
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
‘Time… give us enough time and our best-supported decisions will seem wobbly, our certainties whimsical.’
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
What about you and your decisions? Have you made a crazy or unusual one? Or have you played it safe and had nice peaceful ride through your life? Let’s talk and share, it is bright and sunny outside, cocktails anyone?
