Choices in life:)
Is getting along with the flow is always right , or we should look for options in life too. Is this true that if we go with options rather than with the flow, it may land us in some kind of trouble. The Questions are many, to which answers are less and sometimes it becomes difficult to think as you normally thinks , when you are in some kind of doubt or in some misconceptions .Here I am back again talking about the hundreds of options that we get in our lives and how we can go for the right option at the right time.Life gives us many options to choose from and out of those we need to capitalize on the best options that we get. It is that time where we can judge our capability and patience. Once you opt for some option the next step is how you go about it or how you deal with , what you have chosen. It requires lots of patience , courage and sacrifice to implement it in a right manner so that it can be fruitful someday.
The other picture here is when we go with the flow and we don't opt for any struggle. This happens with people who are lazy enough to think about themselves or they believe that going with the flow is the only available option that they have. Sometimes it's better to go with the flow and sometimes it's not. People who choose their own way are remembered for long and the people who get along with the flow are not remembered.
Life is a mysterious journey and it has different parts within itself. When we talk about options in life , it purely speaks about the decisions that we take in our lives to let us get going. As technology has advanced and made the lives easier , our minds have been opened up to more diverse possibilities and making major life changes like changing jobs or continents has become easier than it was sometime back. But having more choices and opportunities doesn’t necessarily improve the quality of our lives. With all the options available to us, it’s very important to have a way to make major life decisions that expresses what’s most important to us, and allows us to feel good about our decisions.
Having more options generally decreases happiness because we get stuck in second-guessing all our choices. All these options can cause us to keep looking outside of ourselves for the next trend and lead us to lose touch with that part of ourselves that knows what we uniquely desire and value, and that’s when the internal conflict sets in.
There are several emotions that are present within us and they are the source through which we can choose the best possible options in our lives. We can use them to make major life decisions based on what’s most important to you.
We’ve all been socialized that anger is a “bad” emotion to have and that being angry makes you a nasty person. But anger is a powerful emotion that lets you know what’s important to you. In order to feel angry, you have to think that something that’s important to you is being blocked, taken from you, violated or ignored in some way. So think about all the stuff that’s really pushing your buttons and getting you hot. Then ask yourself, “What does this tell me about what’s most important to me?”
Fear tends to cause us to avoid the thing we’re fearing, which is obviously very useful when the thing you’re fearing is a real threat to your life. But most of the stuff we’re scared about in our daily lives doesn’t pose any threat to our lives, because we’re wired to feel fear whenever we’re dealing with something unfamiliar. This means that, whenever we’re learning and growing and extending our comfort zones, we’ll feel fear. And when you’re growing towards something that’s really important to you, your fear is greatest, because your heart’s in it and you care deeply about the results.
So list all the things you’re feeling most afraid about right now. Then ask yourself again, “What does this tell me about what’s important to me?”
Freedom refers to all emotions that feel good: love, joy, peace, pleasure, excitement, contentment and so on. You’ll know you’re feeling these emotions when your body feels relaxed, open, light. There’s no analyzing required here as whatever you actually want, it’s right in front of you! When you feel any of the freedom emotions, ask yourself, “What am I doing right now?” Whether it makes sense or not, this is what you love and what’s most important to you, and you’ll thrive when you bring more of this into your life.
So think of the occasions and areas of your life when you feel freer, and then ask yourself once again, “What does this tell me about what’s important to me?”
Your emotions will always point you back to what’s truly important to you. When you notice your emotions it becomes easy to make major life decisions in alignment with what you value, instead of getting stuck in anxiously second-guessing yourself and perpetually wondering if the grass is greener on the other side.
So the next time you try to choose any option just think twice as it going to affect your life in some or the other way.

This is a very good post .. we do have a range of choices to make and they way they affect us today vs how they affect us tomorrow is very different.
