Recently, I've been thinking about bad decisions and how we're supposed to choose when faced with a million options: where to work, who to date, which friend groups to run in, and which books to devour. It's stressful. You don't want to waste your time stomping down dead end paths. These past three months I've been running in all directions. Trying to experience a bit of everything and push forward on paths that are the right ones. The thing about decisions, though, is that you're going to make bad ones. There are too many to make and no one is going to TELL you what to do. But, I've come to realize that that's kind of a great thing. An awesome thing, really. Being thrown into decisions, alone and uncertain, is the only way we grow and get better. Bad decisions are really quite good for us if we're talking big picture. Sink or swim. The process of it all (deciding, adapting, creating, and destroying) shapes us. We create ourselves in our own image. Yes, there are other factors and it's more complicated than that, but it's mostly just us.
Today I feel pretty good knowing that I can choose and whatever I choose is going to be right. Onward and upward. zoom zoom.
