if you can peek into your future would you dare look?

 

so tell me, if you were given the chance to really know your future, would you choose to know? do you think that would help you make the right decision?

i have to make a lot of decisions, don't we all. it's there from the moment we wake up (what shall i wear today) until we retire to bed (shorts or nothing :P). and as much as we want to stay away from that dreadful word--decision we don't have a choice but to deal with it and it takes a lot of courage and i mean a LOOOOT.

i'm a person who has a hard time making decisions. i don't know, maybe it stems from a fear of making a commitment to something that might fail. i know, i know. failing is part of life but nobody wants to fail, whether they admit it or not.

i must agree that all plans should be accompanied by extensive research (lalo na kung OC ka like me :P) but when the rubber hits  the road, here comes the point which requires action. we can't just sleep and pretend that it would make itself go away. so we really have to make that decision--and fast.

i know i am currently traversing unknown paths. where it leads is still another puzzle to solve. i do not have an inkling as to what my future might be. i'd like to think that i do not care a whit that i don't know anything about what's going to happen because it's liberating but---

life is a constant adventure. life is full of tough choices even if nothing is really black or white. life is a never ending struggle of defining one's self and the decisions i make defines me. every decision i make is a new road, a new experience, a new discovery, a new me, but sometimes...

sometimes...

sometimes i want to peek into that tiny tiny hole of the future and find out whether or not the decisions i am thinking of making is the right thing. if my intuitions are right. if i'll be happy .. if .. if..

if..

title pa lang ng blog ayaw ko na basahin yung buong entry. kakatakot tingnan ang future eh! but for me, i'd rather not look at the future because I think that the future is NOW.
The choices/decisions I make right now is what defines my future.. What is important is you know that RIGHT NOW you know that it is the right thing to do and somehow, you know that RIGHT NOW you are happy. but, you know, i just turned 22 and I don't even have any idea if i'm makin any sense right now. hehehe. "Blindfolded and walking alone" ganyan daw ang feeling.. pero importante alam natin there is no way but up!! sheeesh. lashing bako te ayeen?! miss lang kita! mwah!! =)

If you try to peek at the future, then you lose the element of surprise. There is always a reason for something and the things that we do now affects our future. We make mistakes along the way but is us to decide on how we learn and deal with it. Making decisions, right or wrong gives us the lessons on how to cope with life at present then on to the future. That's the positive side about decisions, learning. Without that lesson, and always knowing the future ahead of us would only make us weak and lose the will to move on with life.
Just think positive, be optimistic. If it does make you happy, go on. Don't think of the negative things. Life is full of surprises, just enjoy it. Do not change the space/time continuum. :-D
