Deciding is something
We all have to do
Especially after we leave
grade school
And become free to choose.
Decisions.
Decisions. Decisions.
We have to choose what field
to enter
And how to make a living
We have to choose if it's
worth forking out cash, or taking on debt for
And what to do if we later
have misgivings.
Decisions.
Decisions. Decisions.
We have to choose whether to
live it up
Or be responsible every step
of the way
We have to choose between
taking on grown-up responsibilities
And between living for the
day.
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
Should we stay in Silicon
Valley?
Or should we head to a city with a less expensive and crazy pace?
Should we live in our
parents' basements
So we can save up money and
buy our own place?
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
Should we buy bitcoin like X
said?
Or trade options like Y told
us to?
Should we put our money in
boring old index funds
Like the Bogleheads, Buffets,
and Boomers say we should do?
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
We have to choose
whether to be single
And stay footloose and fancy
free
Or whether to commit to a
relationship
And live within the
associated boundaries.
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
We have to choose whether to
do the same old same old
Or to leave our comfort zone
Sometimes we will have to
choose between hard choices, such as whether to adopt the ideas, faith, ideals,
and politics of those in our family or circle
Or to think for ourselves,
and strike out on our own.
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
We have to choose whether to
be our authentic selves
At work, at play, with
family, or in society
Or whether to put on a mask
and live a lie…
For the sake of tradition and
propriety.
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions.
Should we make all our
decisions based on our desires
For more money, more status,
more comforts, and more personal gain?
Or should we make our
decisions based on what we believe is
honest, compassionate, and right
And such things as human
dignity, and causing the least pain?
Decisions.
Decisions. Decisions.
Dear Reader, so when
it comes to decisions
As you can see, you will have
an unlimited number to make
The easy ones are like
whether to exercise or not today
Pay serious attention to the
ones where who you are, and what you stand for are at stake.
Thank you for reading and
good luck to you in your decision making. Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is
election day. A special shout-out of praise to all those who will vote (or have
already voted) this year. Thank you for being a thoughtful, conscientious, and
responsible part of the American polity. Before I go, I have two things to
communicate...the first is how happy I am I can vote – it is a right every
American woman enjoys, thanks to the tireless efforts of people like Mary Cady
Stanton, who fought and fought until the 19th amendment passed, and women
were allowed to vote. The second is to share a link with you to an inspiring video, which is both funny and moving. I believe whatever decisions you make in life, one of the primary decisions you should make in life is to let nothing come between you and a fulfilling life. This video is of a person who sets an inspiring example in that regard. I hope you enjoy it and get inspired by it:
