“Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First, we make our choices. Then our choices make us.”  Anne Frank.

Choosing the path to granny’s house could lead to the big bad wolf.  This is a choice we could make.  Going to granny’s for a visit  (drawing on a fairy tale anology) seems innocuous but as all who have heard the story know, it could be fraught with peril.

Choosing Wisley

Experience and knowledge can be used to judge your choices.  This is a wise practice, but not infallible.  It is still possible to make bad choices, no matter how wise you are.

Of course as Anne Frank noted, sometimes your choices are made for you.  Believing this to be a perpetual situation  is a bit of a fatalistic attitude and not recommended to dwell on.  However it most likely is a reality to some extent, some things just are outside your control.

Mostly though considering your options carefully, within the context of your knowledge and experience leveraged in a logic way, will lead to the best results.

Defining your life

As your life is defined by your choices, hopefully more so than those forced upon you, the fashion of it (your life) will be a journey of your choosing.

Checking your Journey

Things will not always proceeed as planned and your choices may have positive results but sometimes you will encounter the big bad wolf.

Watch for these scenarios, don’t let them frustrate or defeat you, just revisit your choices, alter them for the better and move on.
