Checking through my phone, I came across a question that gave me some weird thoughts
Have you ever been too nice and ended up in a situation that could have been avoided if you just would have been an asshole?
I laughed at first as it seemed funny but I had a deeper thought on it and it gave some other thoughts like "Are there really not times when we have to choose to be an asshole to avoid some situations?" There should be, you might want to take a thought on it again.
Humans and choices go hand in hand. It's like an every second thing - we choose how our next second or next minute would be with the kind of choices we make.
You may decide to sleep for hours because you feel your body needs rest - That's your choice. Mind you, someone else decided to work endlessly for that same hours - That's the person's choice also.
said this in one of his posts titled Make The Choice, Make The Time
People in dire circumstances still show their strength and dignity by making choices
I find so much wisdom in these words. Our Choices are our strength and dignity even in the most unpleasant situation like the question asked, you have the power to choose not to be involved in a decision that would result to an unpleasant situation (regrets). Some choices we make may go against our personalities but may be right for us on a long run if we take thoughts on them - Make them, it's your choice to make choices after all
My point of all I'm saying is "Love Yourself First". People make choices based on what others say or think and they end up hurting themselves - Taking away their own happiness. Our choices shouldn't make others happy alone, think of your happiness as well. This may seem hard for some people like someone I know who never thinks of himself first, he's always thinking of how to make others happy and forget that his happiness could also make others happy.
Even when it seems we have no choice, there is always a choice
Yes, you may find yourself in a situation where people would give suggestions on a choice you want to make and they give you choices that best suits them and not really minding how you'd feel about it - You have the choice of not making that choice. So even when you feel like you have no choice but to concur to their choices, have a rethink and see that you always have a choice to make for your own happiness.
Let your choices build your self love, your self esteem and make your relationship with others beautiful. Be your own date, treat yourself out, don't kill yourself over nothing, live happily with the choices you make.
In essence I'm saying
Make the most of every choice you make today!
