Life = Inception of Options

I bet we all are pretty familiar with the saying “Life is all about choices”. I couldn’t help but wonder. If life were all about choices, why wouldn’t anyone accept being an option?

When we’re feeling down and desperate we tend to do a lot of things without thinking enough about them. We started to look for answer or so we called it as. But what we actually looked for were excuses. Whatever those are calming. Not answers. We started to open our Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and so on. We followed all of those accounts providing us with a lot of bull shit words and sentences. But what it really did was to bury us even deeper in our desperation. We read about “Stop letting yourself be an option, we make choices. We’re not options”. Reading that we thought “Yes!!! Life’s all about choices and I’m gonna make mine and I won’t let anyone… Anyone positioning me as his option.” What we failed to realize was if every ones have to make choices for their lives. Then every ones are gonna be options for each other, aren’t they? It is like the inception of options. We are options of options. Options choose us among other options.

How about we forget about “making choices” and “being an option” as a singular event. How about we start putting those words together as one. The thing is not about us being options. It’s about us making tough choices and be responsible for them. And we let every other ones making their choices (where we are one of the options they need to choose) and let them be responsible for their choices.

This way we can be in peace, with ourselves… and with others. Only when we realize that we can only control what we do have power over and we stop craving of control over what we don’t, incredible things happen. Or so Steve Maraboli said, and I do believe in Him.
