Whether we like it or not we will all face choices in our life. When we awake in the morning we have a choice to be be in a good mood or a bad mood. We have the choice to complain about the one thing that isn't done or show our appreciation for all that's right. If we lose our job, we have the choice to be angry or be thankful that we are healthy and capable of working. If we lose a loved one to death, we will be sorrowful, but we have the choice of happy memories or a lifetime of sadness. It isn't always easy to see the positive in all that happens in life but we do have that choice, and much of our future happiness depends on that decision.What are your thoughts on this?

I think you are totally right. It is all in our hand. It's simple choices, but simple thing can be complicated. Life is simple yet complicated. We can only know whether the choices we make are wrong or right after we see the end.
Experience will make you a respected person.

Hello,
Yea I also think that life is all about the choices we make in our life. Sometimes we may actually make bad choices in our life and may even ruin our life. So I think that our future happiness does depend on that crucial decision. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

i can't agree more with you on this... yes, we do make decisions everyday from the time we open our eyes in the morning until we go to sleep again at night... some decisions are easier to make than others... some decisions are critical and some decisions are not that critical... anyway, one thing for sure is whatever decisions we make, we have to bear the consequences and we can't run away from it... so that's why i always try my best to make a wise decision in my life so as not to ruin my life... take care and have a nice day...

Pose-
Nicely put. I choose to be happy. Oh, I do experience the entire gambit of emotions, but each morning I wake up and tell myself that today I'm going to be happy and content no matter what. And I always am. Even when things in life creep up that perhaps are difficult, I still find myself incredibly content. I'm learning each day how to go with the flow, to relax, and how to enjoy all life has to give. Have a wonderful week.

Yes, you are right,life is all about choices. I would like to choose to be happy all the time and keep all the good memories while abandoning all the bad ones. I would like to see all the things in a positive way if I can't change them. However, when I am confronted with such choices, it is hard to convince my heart to make the right choice. Hehe... I can't control my heart totally.

Yup I guess we are all born to have choices in our daily lives. We often try to take it for granted but we do make choices every now and then with our lives. We cannot move on without it and the choices are just flowing in and out of our lives.

I agree with your thoughts on this. And sometimes we will make the wrong choices. We then have the choice to do our best to live with the consequences and learn from our mistakes.

I totally agree that our life is a conscience decision like you said.....a long time ago I heard someone say that when something happens look for the good in the situation. The first thing that happened after I heard this was I had a flat tire in my driveway.....at first I got a bit upset as I had to get to work....then I remembered what I had heard....so I looked for the good. What I came up with was that it was a good thing it happened in my driveway and not on the interstate going 65 mph with the kids in the car......since then I have found good in everything. People often ask me why I am so happy all the time......I always say...because I woke up this morning and alot of people didn't wake up today! Good discussion!

As what they have said that " Decisions are difficult to the extent that we are uncertain about the outcomes associated with the various alternatives."I totally agree with your idea. Choice is daily process, every move we make and whatever will happen to our life is just a product of our choices. Being happy is a choice as what i always belived. If you decide to be happy inspite of the troubles then no one can stop you for being. We do have our own choices and free will to run our own life and be responsible of that decisions. Choice is an oppurtunity to create our future and possibly shape the future of others. In life for every decisions we make, it will definitely define our future. Sometimes chocies we make seem amusing and other time solemn, but these choices keeps our life going. We should never be afraid of the wrong decisions we made because that's also the time we learned from our mistakes and become a better individual.

I agree life gives us so many choices to ponder upon.......but sometimes too many choices can also be so deceiving and also i cant really make up as to what to do at that particular moment......say if i gt angry on something.......but after few hours i realize that it would have been much better if i would have stayed calm......so i feel sometimes choices should not be made hastily....but humans as we are we let our emotions out too quickly, not realizing that life has given us so many choices to choose from.......
Nice topic !!!
Have a nice day !!!!

Hi John4Christ, Thank you for commenting. There is one thing that we can be very sure about, if we get angry we will never make the right choice. You are right, decisions should never be made in haste, unless something requires immediate attention. Blessings.

I agree on that life matters of your choices. Its always been a decision to bother on every step we make in our life situations. No matter what it is we could never go ahead without choices. As simple as can be as to how complicated it will be.
Everything needs not to be perfect as we wanted to, but to each choice, leads your life to everything.

Hello Pose. I love to read your discussion with reasonable thoughts. You are right that life is all about choices. There is much truth in the saying, "Attitude depends everything." Whatever we do and whatever we think, it is our attitude that counts. We live the life the way we make it. Thank you for the reasonable way of saying, friend. Enjoy yourself.

I do agree with you. Life is full of choices, and the option is always in your hand. Whether it is good or bad for you, it was your choice. You take your choice to the end, and you always have an option to do the right thing that you think is good for you. We are making choices constantly everyday of our lives, and we hope that everyone of them can be right for us.
