Choices and Purpose in Life

Life is hard, as we all know. Life is full of choices, with each choice leading to a different path of life. I have to be careful always in making decisions, for a tiny mistake I make might lead me to a life beyond my expectations. While if I make right choices, I might in the end, get what I truly desire. But the question is, how do I know which choices are right and which are wrong? The answer lies within my heart, for only I would be able to hear the voices deep inside me and know what I want. I have my own dreams. What values for me might just be a trifling matter for another. On the other hand, what values for others might just be something I would never have thought of in my whole life.

Do I have a choice of when and where I want to be born?No, for everything that happens on and around me follows a path, like a train following the rail. True as it is that I can change that path chosen for me and start with a whole new road, a whole new life. But, do I have the courage? I don't know. I am afraid of what might come to me when I start down a road that had never been familiar to me. I might as well try to overcome that fear and prove to myself that nothing is impossible, but as I said, unknown dangers lie beneath the dark forest that I'm about to walk through. Whether I see a path of light in the end and find my way out or not all depends on my own doings. I could either chicken-out and run back the path and take the road intended for me, or gather my nerves and strive till I success.

Alas!Life is so complicated. I feel that I'm lost, lost in the woods, never knowing when I will find my way out. I might need the help of the wise, who could direct me towards the right way. If not, I might have to once again, make a decision, whether to go forward or go back. I want to explore more of the world, yet life is full of uncertainty. I could never know what will happen in the next second. But taking risks is an essential part of the human life. Only through taking risks could I come to a step closer to my goals. I hope to find my main purpose in life and head my way to accomplishing it someday because I believe that God has his own purposes for every life He brings into this world.
