Choice! How right is it to make the right one?

Choices. What is it about making one? Why is life always up with choices? Why is it that when we have we are confused and when we don't we crave for them? Irony of living it is. Why can't life just give us one plain choice and make a straight easy way through it?

Well, only if life were so easy. It stands as a challenge for us by giving us a plethora of choices, when we do not need even a few. And gives us none when we crave for them. And most strikingly, when we are just trying to figure out a way through making the right choice we fail to realize that the best one just passed by and we missed it. And by the time we actually grasp ourselves back to this realization, we tend to ignore the ones remaining and lament at the one which we missed. Alas! real blasphemy it turns out in the end.

But still we have winners amongst us. And its not that the winners made the right choice. They converted the choices that they had into the right ones for them in the long run. That's how life is. Not about making the right choice but to survive with what we have and make the best out of it.

The option in front of us shouldn't decide what is best for us. It should be us who should convert the selected option as the best one. Mastering that art decides the winner.

Only if one learnt not to care much and be happy with what one had there wouldn't have been all this confusion but then what is that life which is not bothered with challenges and hurdles to strive further and further. What is that life which doesn't teach us to learn to fail and fail till we succeed.

Finally, in an urge to succeed, we chose to live and live with choices. What we learn eventually in the process of living is to be the writer of our fate and not let fate be the decider of our way of leading life. Life sets itself up in a way that tames us to mould it for our good, the ones who get tamed and carve the best artifacts out of it, end up taming life.
