Life’s Choices

THE optimist says life is about choices.

The best part is, you get to choose how you want to live your life.

You choose how you react to situations;

You choose how people affect your mood;

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

Too bad I’m not an optimist.

The pessimist in me finds it hard to make a choice.

I don’t see things as black or white, only grey.

Sometimes, it doesn’t even matter if I choose this or that - I will end up losing both.

That’s when I turn to God and ask why He’s testing me again.

All I want is a life that’s the same as what many others live.

But I think He’s got other ideas and He’s not telling me.

Whatever it is, I’m tired of all these hurdles along the way.

I don’t know how I’m going to cross this one.

And if I do cross it, what awaits me on the other side?

The optimist will tell me it’s something better.

But the pessimist in me will ask: “Since when was it ever better?”
