It’s A Wonderful World

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking back” – Steve Jobs CEO of Apple Computer

I have always thought that life is all about making choices and mistakes. Sometimes you make the right one,sometimes you don’t. More often than not, you lose more than you win. Thats the way life works.

But knowing whether the choice that you made was the right one or not can only be determined on hindsight. It’s so difficult to know whether you are about to make the best desicion of your life or make the worst mistake you could ever make. You will only be able to tell once you have made that decision and lived it through.

I have had my fair share of making difficult choices. At the crossroads, I kept trying to find the answers, the signals, any clue that could lead me to the right one. Of course, seeking guidance from God was one of them and to some extent God did show me signs, but none distinctive enough that I could say with the utmost conviction what my choice would be. But, as I always believe, have faith. Have faith in myself, in God and what He has predetermined for me and in the choices that I make. In the end I made a choice. A choice that was difficult to make and live with but nevertheless neccessary I think.

Even to this day I am stll not sure whether some of the decisions that I have made are right or wrong. All I can do is pray and hope and of course, try my very best to make sure that it is the right one.

At the end of the day, making choices and living with the consequences, good or bad, are what makes you who you are. Without making mistakes and bad choices in life, you won’t be able to learn from it and hopefully avoid it the next time. As the quote says, you won’t be able to connect the dots looking forward, you can only do it looking backwards. Hopefully thoough, the dots will connect somehow.
