Why do people make choices? Would you make your choices by circumstances or choice?

These questions got me pondering. Of course we make choices everyday but what do we really based our choices on? When we do make choices, are those choices something we’d really want and enthusiastic about or it’s something we choose cause we think that we’re lacking the options of other alternatives? Or simply we’re too focused on solving the problem and we confined ourselves in that circumstance?

I never really give it much thought about the word “choices”. When I asked myself these questions I started to travel back in time to see whether did I make my choices by circumstances or choice. I’m actually glad to make the choice of staying with my mom instead of my dad when I was kind of forced to choose between them. Given the circumstances at that time I’m sure I’d chosen to stay with my dad instead but I chose otherwise. Up till now I don’t know why I’ve done that but one thing I’m sure of, growing up with my mom, bro n granny, this is something I won’t regret looking back and the best I’ve had and I’ve never trade it for anything else. Of course we’ve had heated arguments , misunderstandings, being a pain in the arse at each other but I guess all this lil ups and downs that matters at the end of the day. It does definitely make the journey much sweeter and a solid platform for a stronger bond.

A lot of people tend to make choices by the given circumstances they are in instead of thinking of the fact that they are in total control of their choices. Maybe it never occurred to them that they’re actually more in control of their choices than they thought they are, even in the worst circumstance. More often than not most people make choices that they ended up regretting but I guess they never really ask themselves why did they make such choice in the first place? Because they are in that given situation or it’s really their choice? There are some that even with those bad choices they made in their past; they never regretted ever make them n those are the people that I salute cause I honestly don’t think a lot of people can do that. I’ve made bad choices as well and I’ve never regretted because I know very well the consequences when I made them. Choices got to lead to happiness in the end no matter how one based their choices on.

yes we do have choices but sometimes people prefer to suffer than to go ahead with their choices even though they know the choice they made in their mind nad heart is the right one to happiness.

Choices, you make them whether you are concious or not.
