Once in a while, each one of us will go through the excruciating experience of making certain hard decisions that will define how we'll go through life. These are oftentimes affectionally termed as crossroads, or a state where two or more options are presented as viable, logical, or radical alternatives. The catch is that we can only go through one of these roads, whereby the chance of trying out the others is depicted as a ludicrous exercise of unattainability.
Moreover, after you've gone through a certain crossroad in life, there are three things I believe we must never do; not that it entails infamy or any form of absurdity, but for the simple fact that it will bear absolute insignificance as to how you'll become better as you move forward. These things are:
1. Look back to what happened before
--> what for? keep in mind there's a reason they call it the past. The keyword here is "Learn"
2. Regret the decisions you made
--> only the ageless scribe named "history" would be good enough to ascertain whether what you did was right or wrong, and besides, there's no acceptable logarithm yet that can turn back the hands of father time . The keyword here is "Acceptance"
3. Hesitate on the next crossroad you'll face.
--> Life is all about moving forward, and doing so involves a certain amount of uncalculated risk. Hesitation is the product of an inanimate and feeble individual perspective. The keyword here is "Optimism"
Bottomline is, being trapped within the caverns of a forlorn past is not the best way to live our life to the fullest. It will always be full of uncertainties and preposterous expectations, but regardless of the end results, we can't let ourselves be held captive by our petty indecisions.
I am by no means a guru nor an expert in the aesthetics of living your life, but I've been through these crossroads more than once already, and though I bear the scars of those experiences, I claim no credit for the plethora of words splattered on this page. I am just someone who deliberately offers inflections towards having a positive outlook in life, so the decision to apply what you've read is solely on to you...
