Reflections
Recently I have been faced with another of “those” dilemmas. I
refer to them as “those” with a little bit of irritation, a little
curiosity and a little excitement too.
What I mean by “those” dilemmas are those situations where I have to
make a decision. The dilemma isn’t around the actual decision at
stake. It is about how I approach the decision.
I am aware that there are two options. I can see relevant events as
ones which inform me that Yes; this is the path to take. But I can
also see events as tests about whether I continue to travel that
path, or take another path and hurdle the obstacles it presents with
determination and resolve. How do I know which option to choose? Do I
give in to what may be the inevitable or do I persist in trying to
achieve an intended outcome?
It is always a lesson - a lesson around living in the moment, making
sure that each small decision I make is just that- a small decision
grounded in the present, and not a big decision imposed on the
future.
