Have you wondered if we had limited choices how easy would life be 🙂 It is indeed these choices in life that agitate, excite and confuse us the most. Do you agree?
Okay let’s start with an example. If someone asked you a simple question:
Are you an Optimist?
i. Yes or ii. No
100% replies I presume will be i. Yes, isn’t it 😊
Now the question remains the same, i.e. “Are you an Optimist?”, but now your choices are:
- Always
- Never
- Occasionally
- Rarely
- Neutral
Now, you start thinking way deep into a very simple thing and make the situation more complex and complicated resulting in fickle thoughts and a confused mind… Do you agree?
Well, this is exactly what happens every time we face too many choices for anything and everything in our life too. Just to give you a few light examples here:
- Too many dresses, but I never have anything to wear!
- Different choices of restaurants/ cuisines but we are always confused what to order or where to dine!
- Opening Netflix/Amazon/YouTube with numerous choices and wasting more than 15-20 minutes in just deciding what to watch 🙂
Earlier, life was quite simple with ‘black’ and ‘white’, ‘yes’ and ‘no’ kind of choices and then came in ‘grey’ and ‘colors’ and so many variety of choices; we all know the scenario we are in! We all are “Spoilt for Choices”, isn’t it?
To put it simply, it is us, who have kind of complicated our own surroundings by over-extending our desires/ wants and then we end up spending more than half of our valuable lives running towards achieving those unworthy goals, that provide no contentment!
We can be very very happy and contented with limited choices, but Are we?
The biggest learning from this global lock down is to understand that what we have is enough and all we need is a positive mind and patience and trust that “this too shall pass!” and “All is indeed Well“, my friend!
To conclude: Restrain your choices and always be mindful of your acts! The only question that we should ask ourselves each day: “Am I positive and contented ?” And your choices are: A. Yes or B. Getting better than yesterday..… If your answer is A or B, you are on track my friend and no one can make you sad anymore 👍🏻 Congratulations and please keep spreading your positivity with whoever you interact 😊 Keep Introspecting and Reflecting on your acts everyday!
Be Good and Stay Safe!
