Double Happiness = One Good Problem
JT: Whichever choice you make, I'm sure it will bring you closer to your destiny.Me: What is my destiny?
JT: That's your journey to find out.

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

It's going to be an exploration weekend.
Right about two years ago, I found myself in this same situation but I made my choice in a flash of lightning, without hesitation. I didn't even think about it. I didn't have to. To me, the choice I made was a natural thing to do. Like breathing.
However, it's not so easy this time around. Is it because I've lost my spirit? My drive? That I'm grounded now? Have attachments? Less impulsive? Is mellowed the word?
Somebody once said the enduring spirit within me is my most precious belonging which not many people possess. Periodically, it goes into hibernation because I doubt myself but when it's awakened, anything is possible. I just have to get with the programme, believe and everything will work out for me, for my own betterment. It's surreal and gratifying when someone has more faith in you than you yourself and you wonder, where does it stem from?
They say in the journey of life, choose the path less travelled. I used to be someone who strived not to conform to the norm which resulted in me pursuing and making decisions in the past that were deemed unacceptable by society's standards. Nevertheless, a part of me still believes in being just that little bit different. Heck, you've only got one life. Why live it according to text book for a whole lifespan? Shouldn't we pamper and give ourselves that little bit of luxury to sway and see what we might discover?
Will I have the courage to be brave once more? Or will I reach a point of regret one day and meet with disappointment down the road? For not taking the leap. For not choosing the path less travelled.
Everyone lives with the choices they make. Good or bad, happy or sad. At this juncture, I don't want to settle. And I have been given not one but two chances not to, today.
For this, thank you G.
