Life is about choices…  It can be as simple as to decide what to eat during lunch, which movie to catch this weekend; to mind-boggling issues like choosing a career or even a life partner!

Remember when I just started schooling, I come across a fiction book whereby the reader is requested to determine the main character’s next action by flipping to one of the indicated pages.  This process will continue until the story ends.  Each choice leads the main character through different adventure and ending; but may get him to “go round the world” as well and ended up in the same plight as in some cases whereby a shorter route can be taken.

This is very reflective to life!!  You cannot really anticipate where your decision can lead you to until you go through it.  There are no certainties - one important aspect you need to establish about life.  Too many possible outcomes out there that you have no control over.   What is in your hand is the decisions that you will make, and how you act and react to different situations.

Since life offers no certainty, you would never know whether your decision is good or bad until you made it.  You need to factor in the risk.  Doing nothing is a decision and it involves risk too.  Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, nonetheless, it can turn out to be an opportunity for an adventure, resulting in more avenues which may lead you closer to your goal.  It is just a matter of perspective.  You have the choice between being a lost traveler or an accidental tourist of life!

Therefore, why not make the choice today to join me on 29 Feb 2008 (a “special” day worth celebrating as it only turns up every 4 years), and we together will make this day the start of a new chapter in our life!!  From this day onwards, I will be posting articles that help in improving our personal well-being, be it psychologically or financially.  So, stay tuned..
