Destiny

Do you ever wonder if perhaps you had made a left instead of a right, not gone to that party your junior year of high school, not dated that one boy, not gone to the store three weeks ago – have you ever wondered how your life would be different if you had made a few different decisions? Mundane, normal decisions? How do they affect our lives? Do they really matter? And if so – why don’t we pay more attention to them?

I make decisions every day – have my whole life. And for most of them I don’t give them a second thought. I choose a black iced tea instead of coffee, I skip breakfast, I eat eggs instead of cereal, I go to lunch, I just instead of lunch, I have chicken for dinner instead of beef. I make decisions all day long and just never consider the impact of most. I wonder how many of these normal daily decisions impact my destiny…
