Every day

Choices. It’s about to pick up an option to walk away and not look back. Yes. You cannot have the best of both worlds.

It is what we think it is. It’s about choosing to ignore that phone call, and the next one and the next one. It’s about choosing not to call them back. It’s about choosing either an Xbox or an Atari. It’s about choosing your own list of songs to be listened to, it’s about choosing to dance to the song in your underwear or doing something you have never done before or doing something that makes you smile.

Yes… It’s just a process.

It’s there in your everyday life; either in the big things and the little things—in starting to wake up again on the same bed every day... and wearing different kind of dress, and then in removing the negative people in your life and in replacing them with a positive ones.

But of course, there are thousands of setbacks in achieving it.  

Me? I have been through a lot of tough decisions. I regret most of the decisions that I’d made in the past. I was young and gullible. I didn’t know any better: well.. Those are the normal familiar words that I utter to myself on a regular basis. I always use them to justify the choices that I have made in the past.

But anyway, everything happens for a reason. 

As a Muslim, I believe everything happens by the will of Allah. Whatever He wills, happens; and whatever he does not will does not happen. Nobody wants bad things to happen, right? Hence, the lesson to be learned today is that; underestimation the power of choice is a no-no. A bad decision made many times over and over, can have a profound impact on a lifetime, likewise.... for a good decision.

So, 

Bismillah… Just check all that tiny boxes and leave it to Allah.
