Sometimes something happens that just completely takes you by surprise, it almost sucks the wind
right out of you lungs. You have no control over it, you may have control over the outcome some
what but not completely.
You don't know what to do, you ask friends for advice or they give words of encouragement, but
it is still up to you to make up your mind as to which direction you will go.
Life can be cruel, as can people, which neither one can not be controlled. You can make choices that
affect the rest of your life at a very young age, mostly I am speaking of your teen and early twenties
years. At that time you may ask friends or family members for advice or they may give it to you
whether you want it or not, some times it is heeded and other times not. If we could all look
ahead to the future at that time, or look back to the past later on, we would probably make some
very wise decisions.
It sounds so easy to say, choose your friends wisely, choose how you treat people, choose your
careers carefully, but things can happen so fast that you may have to make split second decisions
or you may think that you are making a good choice, to only find out later on that those decisions
weren't the best. I am not saying that you will be perfect everytime and it is necessary to sometimes
make mistakes to learn for in the future. As a child, our parents would sometimes step aside and
let you make that final choice, of course they would not put you in danger of losing life or limb but
you may have lost a little diginity or pride.
If you are a person of faith, whether you pray or not, or to whomever you believe in, it is always
wise to enter into anything with prayerful consideration, or seeking out counsel.
Either way be prepared to live with whatever the result of your choice is. You may or may not
be able to correct it if it does not turn out the way you wanted it to.
Trust in your heart, listen to your head, and heed advice from someone who may have been there once
or maybe an expert in that field of knowledge. Never just jump in with both feet or take off running,
because you may not land standing up or you could trip and fall.
Make every moment count
