Choices

We are responsible, for the choices we make.

We can choose to be the passive party during an argument, and hope for a better resolution, or be aggressive about it then aggravate the entire situation. We can choose to satisfy our craving of our favorite food, and ignore the health implications it may bring, or put our health above all else and forgo the temptation.

Those were merely simple choices we make, everyday of our lives.

Recently, the talk among friends, was centered around the dollar sign, maybe it was due to the rising inflation, which led us to discuss about being frugal, and earning big bucks. I realized then, that all the talk about dreams and passion, suddenly dwindled into oblivion, it got to me that inflation, was a real threat, not only to our wallets, but to our minds, as well.

Maybe, I lack the work and social experience, some of my friends already have, their reality check came much earlier than mine, I suppose in the context of a working adult, dreams and passion were secondary, earning enough to stay alive and to satisfy one's needs, was then primary.

I guess, we are all moving on to the adult phase, prematurely, the pursuit of material gains and happiness began in the prime of our lives, where we should instead, be pursuing our dreams and passion.

Of course, we are all entitled to our own rights to make choices in our lives, even though I may have little or no influence in the choice making process, I still hope, that no matter what choices we all may undertake, we will not live to regret it and eventually reap happiness out of it.



Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time
