CHOOSING AND<br />
CHOICES<br />
John Sjovik<br />
The few times when I have made clear and decisive choices,<br />
they have never been intellectual. All of them have been<br />
based on fear, fatigue, irritation, delusion, hope, desire and<br />
also (sometimes) on a gut feeling.<br />
When my decision has gone against my internal compass, it<br />
has always turned out to be wrong. When my decision has<br />
been founded on basic feelings such as fear and delusion,<br />
hope and desire, it has turned out to be wrong, or at least<br />
less wise.<br />
The best choices I have made in my life have been based on<br />
thorough logical analysis, matched against my gut feeling,<br />
my heart and with a healthy portion of doubt.<br />
The best choice is always slightly tainted with doubt. Doubt<br />
sharpens your senses and enables you to have greater<br />
awareness and critical analysis. You will continue to doublecheck<br />
information, question the seemingly obvious and<br />
make sure to always have a way to back out with keeping in<br />
control of possible losses, financial or emotional. Whenever<br />
you feel 100% certain, you should always pause for a<br />
moment and double-check.<br />
Also, note that what was a clear and obvious choice at one<br />
time, may not remain good at a later date. The situation you<br />
chose to enter may not fit you or be beneficial for you as<br />
you grow, learn more and become more nuanced and<br />
developed in your skills and abilities. It is always a good<br />
idea to re-evaluate the choices you once made, however<br />
good they might have appeared at one time.<br />
Everybody, including beggars, can and should be choosers.<br />
Just make sure to keep your wits about you and listen to<br />
your heart and gut.<br />
