“Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.” – Patricia Hampl
Choices I’ve made, have they been the right ones for me? I’m faced with the question today of whether I made choices with my mind, heart or gut. Have I regretted my choices? And do I want to change the way I make decisions? Ask your self this today too.
Obviously one choice I made was not the right one for me, that being I chose to pursue a marriage with a person who is not spiritual. I made this choice I believe with my heart and mind. My mind telling me why not give him a chance, which turned into falling in love. My heart telling me you are lonely and need to be loved so go for it.
Choosing to go to school, first for psychology and then nursing. I think I made this choice with my mind. I knew I had to get a job out of high school and so thought that I should go back to school. Then, I went back to school for nursing, always searching for the better job. I don’t regret choosing to do this, just regret not really looking at the financial situation I would be in afterwards with loans; somehow I feel that is not my fault.
Choosing to move out of my parents house not once but twice I guess you could say. All choices made by my mind. I couldn’t live there anymore for many reasons and kind of rushed to get out of there.
So I am noticing that I make choices mostly logically, with my mind. Maybe I should try using my heart and gut more, maybe where my true, gentle, positive inner voice is speaking from. And of course I need to start making prayer a big part of my decision making.
I don’t regret choices I’ve made because regret is useless anyways. I can’t unscramble the eggs. Everything happens for a reason and there is a lesson learned behind every path you choose, whether you see it now or later.
