The simplest questions are the most profound

The simplest questions are the most profound.
Where were you born?  Where is your home?
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Think about these once in awhile, and
watch your answers change.

That is from one of my favourite books, Illusions by Richard Bach. I love that book.  No matter how many times I read it, it makes me think.

There are so many answers to each of those questions, simple as they seem.  The ones I am currently preoccupied with are What are you doing?  Where are you going?

What am I doing?  Where am I going?  And, maybe the bigger question is does it matter? Does it matter what I am doing or where I am going?  Does it matter if I don’t know the answers?

The trajectory of my life is changing with every moment that passes – every choice I make.  Some of the most mundane choices can influence the most profound changes.

So, I wonder – what am I doing?  What choices will I make today and where will they take me?

A Lesson in Choices

Dear Q,

Life is full of choices. Everything you do is a result of the choices that you make, and every choice you make is determined after your options have been weighed – sometimes consciously, sometimes not.  Our free will allows us to makes decisions that impact our lives and the lives around us.  Every choice you make impacts your life to a different degree.  Some choices are life-changing and some seem mundane.

Everyone makes choices for different reasons.  Often, people are not even aware of why they made a specific choice.   Remember that just because you do not understand someone else’s choice, it doesn’t mean that they made the wrong one.

Your choices shape and frame your life.  Be responsible with your choices and ensure that they are in tune with who you are and what you want.  In this world, you are the choices you make – from what you eat, to what you wear.

Be true to your self in the choices you make and remember to be true to your self in your evaluation of other people’s choices.

Love always,

Mom
